Kirkconnel Miners Memorial

To the memory of the men of  Upper Nithsdale who in pursuance of their calling lost their lives in the collieries 1872 - 1969

Others also through injuries and mining dust were hastened to an early grave

They served their day unseen unsung
In caverns of the deep
Till early laid the mools among
They through the ages sleep

Lest We Forget
