Barony A Frame, Mining headframe in Auchinleck, Scotland.
The Barony A Frame stands 180 feet tall as a steel structure marking the location of the former Barony Colliery in East Ayrshire.
Built in 1954 during modernization efforts, the headframe operated until 1989 when the Barony Colliery closed after 82 years of coal production.
The structure received Category B listed status in 1990, marking its importance as the last remaining example of this type of mining architecture in Britain.
Visitors can access the site two kilometers west of Auchinleck, where informational panels explain the mining operations and regional industrial development.
A memorial plaque at the site honors four miners who lost their lives in a 1962 accident, with their bodies remaining unrecovered in the mine.
