Both on the outskirts of Kilwinning, Ayrshire. Mining commenced about the 1850's and continued until around the early 1900s. The miner's rows were cleared about the 1930's. Burial places are Kilwinning Old Parish Churchyard and a newer cemetery on the Glasgow Road Kilwinning. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
