Country Surgeon Micro Museum

This collection tells the story of James Bouglas (1798 – 1882) who worked for nearly sixty years as a country doctor in the town of Carluke, carrying out surgery and tending to the sick.

Visitors can discover a fascinating account of traditional treatments, amputations, surgery in the home, tackling disease and pills and potions. The museum contains one large display case and two multimedia display screens telling the story of his life and tools of the trade.
