There is an item in FORARGYLL about Argyll Colliery

The Road to Drumleman – a lyrical documentary on brotherhood at Argyll Colliery [link]

This links to the 50 minute film

The road to Drumleman - Director: Jan Nimmo [link]

Synopsis of the Film: The Road to Drumleman tells the story of Kintyre's last coal mine, The Argyll Colliery (1947-1967). Almost no physical traces of the mine remain and now it is hard to imagine that the well run mine thrived just behind spectacular Machrihanish Bay.
