Barony Mine A Frame and Power Station 4K
Barony was one of only two Scottish collieries that adjoined a power station (opened in 1953). In 1948, the colliery employed 1,264 and produced 1,520 tons per day.
On 8 November 1962 Barony’s No.2 shaft collapsed, entombing four men.
It is the last remaining example of its type in Britain, and was restored in 2007 by the Barony A Frame Trust. Over £1 million was spent refurbishing the structure, including funding from Historic Scotland and the Heritage Lottery Fund. The A-frame was reopened by Prince Charles, the Duke of Rothesay in January 2008.
