Scottish Coal, Stane, Scotland March 08

Visited here solo February 08, again with Shepy & Sonorg March 08.

Not much information kicking about on this one im afraid, other than it was home to Scotlands biggest dragline Coal Shovel.

Looks like a screen / grading plant for the opencast. Possibly its been put by for future use. I gather Scottish coal have a lot of prospects for opencast's and plans for a new deep mine, quite possibly still some way off though.

I like the 240v sign in second pic. Good report and pics.

That's an excellent site. Some really interesting heavy machinery there. Great pics, as always...love that last one with the screw-type conveyor.

Nice one maden_2, i was waiting for you to put up a report on this one as the site was your find.

Such a lovely site, with lots of interesting machines still to look at. Suited me right down to the ground as im a huge fan of big industry.

Everything is safe enough to get about on, no real signs of decay yet though the wind flapping through the building will give you a bit of a scare a few times as the whole place makes the strangest croaks and groans!
