The industrial heart of East Lothian
Prestongrange is a site of major importance in the story of Scotland's Industrial Revolution.It was the location of a sixteenth century harbour, a seventeenth century glass works, eighteenth and nineteenth century potteries and a nineteenth/twentieth century coal mine and brick works. Remnants of these former industries can still be seen, and many of the structures are still intact including the rare Hoffman Kiln built in 1937 and the Cornish Beam Engine, unique in Scotland as it the only beam engine still on the site where it worked.
The museum site is open to the public all day, throughout the year.
We are now closed for the winter season and will re-open on 1st April 2010. From April to October, the visitor centre and exhibitions are open between 11.30am and 4.30pm. For more information about what we offer, please have a look at the tour pages and the Visiting Prestongrange page.
