David Livingstone Birthplace

Set along the banks of the River Clyde and surrounded by stunning park land, the Birthplace museum invites you to follow Livingstone’s journey from Blantyre to Africa through our new interactive exhibition.

Children are encouraged to 'set sail' on our wonderful playground, inspired by Livingstone’s own voyages, and explore the grounds using our trails.

David Livingstone Birthplace is currently closed during refurbishment work.

David Livingstone Birthplace is normally open 10:00-17:00 each weekday.
