Leadhills is a village in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, 5¾ miles WSW of Elvanfoot. Population (1901) 835. It is the second highest village in Scotland after Wanlockhead, lying 395m (1295ft) above sea-level, near the source of Glengonnar Water, an affluent of the River Clyde. The village is neat and well built, and contains a masonic hall, village hall and shop.
The Grouse Moors cover in excess of 11,000 acres around Leadhills and are amongst the finest in Scotland.
Leadhills Golf Course is the highest in Scotland. This nine hole course offers considerable challenge as the winds can be high and unpredictable as they are channeled between the hills.
The Grave of John Taylor is also available to visit in the cemetery. Reputed to be 137 years of age at the time of his death, John Taylor's grave (shared with his son, Robert) even attracted the attention of the BBC.
The Leadhills & Wanlockhead Railway runs at weekends only, and at Christmas sees the Santa Express, which includes a ride on the train, a visit to Santa down the Lead mine, and a story read by Mrs Kringle in the Museum of Lead Mining, Wanlockhead. The Elvanfoot railway station was on the Caledonian Railway main line from Glasgow to the south. A branch from there ran through Leadhills to Wanlockhead and Railway. The railway is 1498 feet above sea operated until 1939. Part of the route has been re-used by the Leadhills & Wanlockheadvelle

^^^The obelisk
In 1891, via public subscription, a memorial was erected in the form of an obelisk near to the cemetery On one side of the obelisk is a brass panel with the Charlotte Dundas shown on it, with the other side of the obelisk providing details about William Symington, ‘INVENTOR OF STEAM NAVIGATION, born in Leadhills 1764 DIED 1831’.
