=== Golf course ===
Leadhills Golf Club, instituted in 1891, is the highest in [[Scotland]]. The nine-hole course offers a considerable challenge as the winds can be high and unpredictable as they are channelled between the hills.
At one time, the two courses were amalgamated into 18 holes before it was decided to stick with 9 holes on the lower ground and abandon the original course.<ref>[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=zYd-AAAAQBAJ&pg=PA174&lpg=PA174&dq=leadhills+golf+club+broadlaw&source=bl&ots=Yy5Q7nEmsC&sig=ACfU3U2VPSxCv8cHdAibnfQeLVU7r6s70Q&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjQw7HRqvr3AhX5QEEAHVwdD90Q6AF6BAgZEAM#v=onepage&q=leadhills%20golf%20club%20broadlaw&f=false=frontcover Fairways!

The club was originally known as Leadhills Golf Club prior to [[World War 1]], but it was renamed Lowthers Golf Club following the war, until 1935 when it reverted back to it's original name.<ref>[https://www.golfsmissinglinks.co.uk/index.php/scotland-63/central-west/lanarkshire/234-lowthers-golf-club-leadhills-south-lanarkshire Lowthers Golf Club, Leadhills, South Lanarkshire.

The club as we know it today was founded in 1935. An exhibition game was played as part of the opening ceremony, players included [[Walker Cup]] player [[Leonard Crawley]].<ref>[https://www.forgottengreens.com/forgotten-greens/lanarkshire-abington/leadhills-1-2-and-3/ Leadhills Golf Club], Forgotten Greens of Scotland</ref>
The clubhouse was upgraded in 2013 after planning permission was sought from [[South Lanarkshire Council]] to build the £17,000 cabin. The previous clubhouse was built in the 1980's.<ref>[https://www.glasgowworld.com/sport/leadhills-golf-club-plans-new-clubhouse-2344772 Leadhills Golf Club plans new clubhouse], Glasgow World, 19 April 2013</ref><ref>[https://www.dgwgo.com/sport-news/things-are-starting-to-look-all-white-for-the-future-at-lowther-hills-ski-club/ THINGS ARE STARTING TO LOOK ‘ALL-WHITE’ FOR THE FUTURE AT LOWTHER HILLS SKI CLUB], Dumfries & Galloway!
