The Leadhills district lies at the northern margin of the Southern Uplands. It straddles the Southern Upland Fault and includes a small area of the Midland Valley in the northwest of the district. The Southern Uplands Terrane, to the south of the fault, is characterised by rolling hills of Lower Palaeozoic rocks, with several Carboniferous and Permian outliers. The Midland Valley Terrane consists mainly of Siluro-Devonian sandstone and minor lava flows, and includes the southern part of the formerly important Douglas Coalfield. The district is largely rural, with the main population centres in the villages of Abington and Crawford in the valley of the River Clyde, and in the former mining communities of Leadhills and Wanlockhead in the Lowther Hills.
