It was created by the Lothian Coal Company to house the workforce at their Lady Victoria pit, sunk 1890-94. By 1951, it had a population of over 6,000. Although the mine closed in 1981, Newtongrange is still a remarkably well-preserved mining settlement. It is now home to the Scottish Mining Museum. Other, smaller settlements associated with the now extinct coal-mining industry are scattered across the central Lowlands, from south Ayrshire to Fife, with outliers from Brora, Sutherland to Canonbie, Dumfries-shire. Most of their housing stock dates from the 20th century. Resource pack   1     2     3     4
