Blair Athol Mine


When we were at the Blair Athol mine yesterday, they have on display a Steam Shovel built in about the late 1930’s. Walter got very excited as when he commenced his second year of his apprenticeship,in a coal mine in Austria he had to work on this type of machine.

We include a photo of him with this beast! In comparison to the machinery they now use on the mines, it is small.
