Hi thanks for sharing this very interesting clip on CZcams I was down the Barony Pit on a School outing in 1960 I then was a pupil at Glaisnock Rural School near Cumnock I remember Killoch just newly built in 1958.😢
Good to see this vid. Long lost history, and I still drive by those villages and visited Glenbuck on a wet cold day and just wondered the pain and lack of wages these Real men had to endure. 🌶️🍉
Yes bit many of the surrounding smaller collieries ran at a loss due to geological fault conditions as I remember when I worked at Pennyvenie colliery in the late 60's

Excellent. Thanks for posting. Brought back memories of long closed pits and stations.

Such a shame it's in the past,my grandpa was a miner in dailly pit way back when I was a wee girl.
Maggie thatcher came along ,and shut all the scottish mines down,
Built to last, a 100 years of coal wonder what happened 🤔
