I'm reading the reports on the Blantyre Mining Disaster of 1877, and have
encountered quite a few terms with which I'm not familiar & can't find in
the Concise Scots Dictionary.
I've got details of a book by someone Barrowman titled "Scotch Mining
Terms", but it seems to be scarce as hen's teeth.
Is anyone aware of an alternate source of mining terms used in Scotland
from that period?
Regards
Jim Rouse
