Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life,

One of Scotland's leading visitor attractions, the 4-star rated Summerlee Museum of Scottish Industrial Life in Coatbridge, has re-opened after a £10m Heritage Lottery Fund supported redevelopment. 

The project has seen a ground-up refurbishment of the museum's main exhibition hall, which was formed in the mid 1980s out of the site of the Hydrocon Crane company. The original exhibition hall, while providing a superb space for the the museum's collection of working machinery, had become in need of extensive upgrading, to maintain its position in a competitive leisure market. The Heritage Lottery Fund award, one of the biggest in Scotland, recognised Summerlee's importance in Scotland's industrial revolution and as a 21st century visitor attraction.

Coatbridge, ML5 1QD.

Around 30 members enjoyed a dauner roon this interesting site and had a refreshing coffee and natter in the cafe. The children were well entertained with a large well equipped play area on the site.

Found this on the net.

Stand proud you noble swingers of clubs & losers of balls..

..A recent study

found the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found

golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.

That means, on average,

golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon.

Kind of makes you proud.

For 2010, the Tyne Tees area have been chosen to host the BCC Feast of Lanterns, and have located an ideal site in the village of Corbridge, approx. 18 miles west of Newcastle. So why not join us and many other campers for the August Bank Holiday weekend and visit the forgotten county of England.

How do I get there?
There is a plethera of excellent access opportunities; with the A1 taking you either North or South to Newcastle followed by the A69 dual carriageway which will lead you easily to within two miles of the site.

The location of site is ideal for visitors to explore the North East of England; with Hadrians Wall, Kielder Water & Forest Park, Beamish Museum, Metro Centre and numerous historic castles and houses within easy reach, not to mention the excellent transport links to newcastle, a town steeped in history.

Add to the previous list the fact that Kelso has two 18-hole golf-courses, an ice rink, rugby, cricket and football clubs, as well as one of the oldest and friendliest race-courses in the UK and you will begin to realise that there is more to this town than meets the eye.
 
The jewel in the town crown is perhaps the French-style cobbled square. Situated around the town square is a selection of fine retail outlets, both national and local privately owned, where any visitor could buy the perfect gift for their loved ones back home. In addition to the retail outlets, there are many bars and restaurants for the casual drink or meal or even the more formal occasion.
