The Auchlochan Collieries were several collieries in Auchlochan and Coalburn, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.[2][3] Production started in 1894 - run by Caprington and Auchlochan Collieries Ltd and then by William Dixon & Company from the 1930s before the NCB took over in 1947[4] - ending in 1968 when the collieries closed.[5] They were served at Auchlochan Platform railway station, part of the Coalburn Branch of the Caledonian Railway.[citation needed] Eight people were killed at the collieries.[6]
