Product Description

Product Description
This book presents a brief history of the Scottish coal industry, concentrating on the period following nationalisation in 1947 until the re-privatisation and the subsequent closure of Scotland's last deep mine in 2002. At the heart of the volume is a heavily illustrated county-based inventory of all the coal mines to have worked in this period, and a glossary of mining terms. The book is designed to be of general historical interest, and of use in an educational and research context.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scottish Collieries, 14 Aug 2006
By Colin MCLEAN (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First, this book has been long needed; there are a few locally based guides to the Scottish coal industry, but many of these are little more than picture books. This new publication is in a quite different league. It is both comprehensive and authoritative, using some of the best sources and resources currently available. Better than anything else I have seen, this brings home the enormous scale of an industry that was once - just before WW1 - the largest industry in Scotland, providing the livelihood for thousands of Scots, their families and their communities, and whose workers were until relatively recently a considerable political force in Scotland (and in the UK). The industry has now virtually disappeared and this publication is now the standard guide to its scale, using well-researched statistics and a wonderful photographic archive. Anyone with even a passing interest in the Scottish coal industry cannot fail to be intrigued and impressed by its content and scope.
