Brownsbank Cottage
c/o Biggar Museum Trust, Moat Park
Biggar ML12 6DT
Few people would question the key role of Christopher Murray Grieve ('Hugh MacDiarmid') in the Scottish Literary Renaissance of the 1920s. His rebelliously controversial statements about Scottish culture and identity gave a dynamic new perspective on the nation's arts, politics, education and philosophy. His cottage, as it is now, retains many of its original artefacts: portraits, wallie dugs, memorabilia.
David Livingstone Centre
165 Station Road
Blantyre G72 9BT
Scotland's most famous explorer and missionary was born here in 1813, in a single-roomed house in Shuttle Row - today a Grade A listed tenement. It is now part of the museum that tells the story of Livingstone's explorations in Africa and is home to a wide range of his personal belongings and travel aids. The museum also gives a fascinating insight into the harsh conditions endured by industrial workers in the 19th century.
Greenhill Covenanter's House

This 17th century house was rescued from its original location at Wiston about 13km away. On visiting Greenhill you return to the troubled century of the signing of the National Covenant and of the 'Killing Times', when people were hunted down for worshipping in open fields, rather than attending state controlled churches.
