Mining Equipment

The Museum has an extensive collection of photographs of many Scottish collieries, from pre-nationalisation era to the 1980s when many of them closed.

Each photo is accompanied by its own individual accession number, e.g. 1996.0834, which is visible below the enlarged version of the image. If you are interested in ordering any copies of photos, please take a note of the accession number, and call a member of the curatorial team on 0131 663 7519, for more information and details about charges.
