In the late 1930s, Sanquhar was the home to Crawick Wheelers, a very successful Cycling Club which was instrumental in the setting of a number of Scottish [[Time Trial]] records. The Scott brothers were prolific in setting these records along with Jock Tudhope. The Scotts were predominantly miners in the local collieries and worked an 11-day fortnight finishing work on a Saturday morning. They would then ride from Sanquhar to [[Dundee]] or [[Perth, Scotland|Perth]] and take part in Time Trial races before returning home on the Sunday. After the [[WWII|1939-45 war]], Jim Scott moved on from Crawick Wheelers and rode for Law Wheelers in Lanarkshire; the Crawick club seems to have folded at around this time. The records set were as follows:<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.thedrumup.co.uk/cycling-history/scottish-time-trial-records/|title=Scottish time trial records|last=Owen|date=2010-11-09|website=The Drum-Up|language=en-US|access-date=2019-08-15}}</ref>
