Scope and Content Killochan Colliery, South Ayrshire This was the furthest south colliery in the Girvan Valley coalfield. It was sunk in 1905 by the Killochan Coal Co, and was connected to the Ayr-Girvan railway line. The Killochan Coal Co later became part of South Ayrshire Collieries, which became a limited company in 1928. This shows the colliery from the north. It had ceased production in 1967, but had been retained to process coal from Dalquharran and Maxwell collieries, to the east. The building with the round-headed windows was the winding engine house. Note the coal wagons on the right. The Maxwell and Dalquharran collieries, the last in the Girvan Valley coalfield, both closed in 1977, and the washery here was then abandoned. The buildings seen here were then demolished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
