Name and dates

Haughhead Colliery (1860-1886)

Served by the Lesmahagow Railway.

Description

This colliery was sunk by Merry and Cunninghame in the 1860s. It was served by a short mineral line from Ross Juncion (the first part of this junction to be built).

In 1886 it was bought by Colonel Robertson Aikman who owned the nearby Ross Colliery from which the coal was later to be worked allowing Haughhead, and its line, to close.
