Production figures for the second half of the 19th century will provide an
indication of the major fields. See Burt, Waite and Atkinson, 'Scottish
Metalliferous Mining 1845-1913: Detailed Returns from the Mineral
Statistics, Part 1', Industrial Archaeology, 16, 1 (1981), 4-19; with Part
2 in 16, 2 (1981), 140-157.
