The West Lothian area has been extensively mined for a variety of minerals and metals, so much that parts of the county appear to be hollow!
There are a large number of disused Copper mines through Scotland, with the majoirty on the West Coast in Ayrshire (Swinlees), Wigtownshire (Tonderghie) and Argyll (Kilmartin). Copper is not actively mined in Scotland.
Forestry work has been ongoing since the storms in January, and some areas are cordoned off.
Please respect the notices and do not enter areas which have been restricted.
Thanks to the Beecraigs Country Park Rangers for allowing these caches to be placed.
