Curfew Bell, Leadhills
The Curfew Bell was erected by the Scots Mining Company in 1770 to commemorate mine manager James Stirling in the year of his death. The bell was an integral part of the mining industry in Leadhills. It was rung to inform the miners of shift changes and to summon children to school. It also warned of accidents in the mines or when people were lost in the hills. Today the bell is used only to ring in the New Year.
