Learn more about Mining Landscapes
Scottish Mining Landscapes is an eco-museum - a virtual museum, with no expert curators and all content is chosen and created by communities. It celebrates the mining history and community that has shaped the landscape of the Central belt, employed 150000 people and was at one point responsible for 15% of the British annual output.
TreeLink Stirling is delighted to be in partnership with Mining Landscapes acknowledging that mining has be responsible for the changing landscapes all around and as TreeLink looks to the future, the history has many stories still to tell.
The Eco-museum was launched in 2024 as an accessible way for communities to share their stories and people to learn how this vast economy shapes the landscape we see everyday. A huge amount has been accomplished over the past and TreeLink Stirling invites you to explore, not only our new routes but the huge number of other free routes available to you.
