Statement

A copy of the index to and scans of Scottish abandoned coal mine plans was deposited with BGS in 2017 to facilitate an in-person viewing service at the BGS Edinburgh office. In 2025, the data were redeposited along with those for England and Wales to allow BGS to deliver these scans on behalf of the Mining Remediation Authority (MRA) via the BGS mine plan viewer. Microfiche copies of the original MRA statutory mine abandonment plans were deposited prior to 2017.
