In the hills North of Loch Lomond, at the end of a quiet glen, this mine closed down in 1995 after producing not much gold - it might reopen soon, though.

















 
Superb Ben -the first pic I'm loving -the way those mine cars disappear into the darkness, in fact, all ya pics are dog-gone fine!!!

Thanks for posting :)
 
Im in argeement, some banging shots! really nice subject matter, lots of colour an some really clever camera ideas..good report, thanks for posting BenCooper!
 
First class photos from you as always! Great looking mine, and good to see an Eimco tracked loader down there.
 
I homed in on this when I saw the word "mine" !

Looks a good place to visit. High roofs, clean floors etc. It is good that it may re-open too. We could never have too many mines. :)

Some cracking shots there. Thanks for posting. :)

Cheers - yes, Flickr picked one of these pictures for their blog entry yesterday, so today my Flickr stream is getting about 30x as many views as usual :)
