Yes, it's definitely Wanlockhead! I lived there as a kid and attended the highest school in Scotland which alas is no more. It used to be a centre for lead mining and although the miners had very hard lives and died young they had a passion for learning. I think Wanlockhead had the oldest lending library in Britain. It's a place well worth a visit! There's a village pub and the sheep still freely roam the streets.

Wanlockhead is located in beautiful South West Scotland in the Lowther Hills and is the highest village in Scotland at 1531ft. (463m) above sea level. It lies 30 miles North of Dumfries and owes its existence to the mineral deposits in the surrounding hills. Today it can be easily accessed by either the M74 or the A76, via the scenic Mennock Pass.
