The museum is open seven days a week, 10.00am until 4.00pm and entry is free. Although primarily a museum of industrial heritage, there are a couple of artefacts associated with the Covenanters on display.

Sword

A mortuary broadsword that is believed to have been used at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge in 1679 is on dispay in one of the glass cases.

Shroud

A shroud used at the execution of John Whitelaw of Old Monkland at the Grassmarket in Edinburgh in 1683 is in the same case as the sword. He was accused of being active at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge.
