- 3 October 1928: Fatality At Glencraig Colliery - Another fatality occurred at Glencraig Colliery on Wednesday, when a young lad, J. McGowan, residing at South Glencraig, met with shocking injuries. The lad, who was working his first shift with his father, was caught by a hutch on a wheelbrae and dragged down for a considerable distance. When extricated young McGowan was dead and badly mutilated. Work at the pit was suspended for the day. [Dunfermline Journal 6 October 1928]
