Worth a visit if you like heavy engineering and a look into period cottages. Will be better when the tram gets repaired. Surprised to find an excellent car park just across from museum entrance as website directs cars to the Time Capsule! Some displays could have better signage and still wondering what connection the Singer Chamois car had (made in Linwood).

Although called the Museum of Scottish Industrial Life Summerlee is as much about the social history of the area, and has sections on early and pre-industrial life, school life, health and welfare, shopping, the Second World War, football, and even going to the pictures. I enjoyed it all, but particularly liked the row of miners’ cottages, with each front room decorated in the style of past decades.
The museum also runs a series of events throughout the year, and a couple of years back I went to a screening of the silent film Nosferatu (1922) accompanied by live music played on the museum’s wonderful Art Deco illuminated cinema organ.

Located in the heart of Coatbridge, a museum dedicated to local industry.
Plenty of free parking.
The site has plenty to see from the main museum building housing toilets and a cafe plus satellite buildings housing more machinery, cottages - each giving a view of furnishings of an era plus a part canal.
Visitors get see an awful lot in a very short space of time. Exhibits are well laid out and information easy to read. Found the staff to be useful and friendly too.
Visited the on site cafe offering lite snacks / coffees / teas / drinks etc - thought prices were ok too.
Unfortunately the tram system was not working - an electrical fault, perhaps next time.
The down side if the museum is that there were a number of external exhibits in conservation vs being preserved. More shelter from the unpredictable Scottish climate is over due - my fear is that some exhibits may be on their last legs and when they are gone……
Despite this view, Summerlee should be on your bucket list. Simply a remarkable venue detailing an interesting history of industry / life in Scotland now sadly gone.

This place is a little gem of Scotland highlighting the heavy industry that dominated the area. It’s free to enter and there’s some nice examples of Victorian engineering at its best.

If you have any interest in Industrial History this is the place for you.
Everything is so incredibly interesting and user friendly.
The section on Ironmaking was especially interesting for me as my father worked on Blast Furnaces all his life.
He would have been enthralled, as I was, by the large section on this subject.
The remainder of the interior section of the museum is so well laid out and pays tribute to the Engineering genius and phenomenal industry that Scotland produced.
So much to see and take in.
Lastly we paid £2 ( a bargain ) to go escorted into the Drift Coal Mine.
The two lady guides were amazing in their enthusiasm, knowledge and friendly attitude in taking us into this coal face area.
Unfortunately time ran out for us to explore the canal basin area and some outside exhibits,
I live a long way off from Coatbridge but will definitely return to take in more.
A MARVELLOUS Place, what an outstanding achievement.

Came here for a day out with my husband for couple hours.
What a fabulous place.
Easy to find on sat nav but also sign posted well through coatbridge.
Free entry.
Amazing museum which has alot of exhibits mostly based on lanarkshire and Scotland.
There is free parking and toilets, and a lovely cafe although we didnt stay for drinks x
Outside is a lovely walk around the canal, childrens play area then coal mine and cottages.
Well worth the visit.

Always passed signs on the M8, so finally visited today with our grandson. Plenty of interesting things to see and do for all ages.
Seeing all the machinery was great especially the working winder.
There were a few groups of kids, probably from holiday clubs. They were all enjoying themselves having their picnics.
Had a bite of lunch which was fresh made, quickly served and excellent and plenty of it, serving staff smiling and courteous.
The museum is free of charge, there is a free car park across the road but can fill up quickly, if you get there for museum opening you can get parked.
All in all we had a fantastic day and would recommend to all

Well where to start, it’s free to enter, inside is nothing my old machinery to look at, outside there is a small walk to see 3 different houses that are from over the years and that’s it! Not the best place. Would rather go the Beamish and see more than here so thankful this place was free to enter or that would be a waste of money.

Does the tram run every day? I’m specifically asking about today 😂 xx

I know this is a bit late, but I believe it does. It certainly always has when I've been on site.

Which railway station is nearer summerlee , sunnyside or central
كُتب بتاريخ 4 أكتوبر 2017
Central is only a few hundred yards from the Gates of Summerlee. Depending where you live sunnyside is the busiest station with several trains an hour from Glagow and Edinburgh. Sumerlee is directly across from Sunnyside Station but the walk to the gates of Summerlee takes about 5 minutes.

The platform is not suitable for visitors to stand on (its behind a fence for that reason) but if you go to the mine area you can see our locos and also wave at the Scotrail trains which pass every 10 minutes or so. As the other contributors have suggested why not take a trip on the Summerlee Electric Tramway - its free for under 5s. There is also a big play area too.

Is it wheelchair friendly and are they things my son can do he's 7yrs old also do you have a changing places toilets available
كُتب بتاريخ 3 يونيو 2016
Yes the museum is wheelchair accessible on a flat site. Entry is free. You only pay to ride on the tram. A 7 year old would enjoy the machines and story of coal industry. There is a good cafe and a children's play area outside the main building beside the canal. Toilet facilities all suitable for a wheelchair user.
The heritage tram would not be suitable for access as the one we rode on was a historic German tram. It takes you to visit miners' cottages which are accessible by a path without taking the tram.
Hope you enjoy your visit!
