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-west. It had ceased production in 1967. The building with the rounded roof in the centre was the screens for sorting coal by size. In front of it is the steelwork of a conveyor across the railway used at one time to take coal delivered by road to the screens. The washery at Killochan was retained after the end of production here to treat coal from 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.
