Ardeer nobel site

Post by Fimac »

Happy holidays to you all !

Just found this on my research - I don't see it already posted here. Great pics of the ardeer factory internally taken recently - Daily mail online.
Can you access this old site - or is it all locked down. Would make a great tour !

Hi Fimac - you can still access a lot of the site. Iain, one of our members took us on a tour a few years ago at one of our reunion nights.

Hiya, that is great.
:D
Can I get hold of Iain here - what is his surname please ? Maybe he could do another tour for a few of us ?
it means so much more if someone actually knows the site. (rather than me take my ageing father back there)

His own father worked there in the 1930's doing the dynamite run, and my father wrote about it in his book 'Dunfillin - tales from the enamel face'. By Lan Macdonald (still on amazon, a few copies left !)
