Hiking

The Mary Colliery opened in 1904 and worked two shafts until 1966. It was once the deepest mine in the area with a network of tunnels under what is now the Lochore Country Park. A set of concrete winding gear and one of the trains which used to pull the coal away from the mine are here in memory of the mine and the miners.
