13 December 1926: Death In Falkirk Colliery - The workers at Letham Colliery, near Falkirk, were idle yesterday in consequence of a tragic death which occurred underground in the morning. William Allan, miner, Letham Cottages, was proceeding to his working place, when he suddenly collapsed by the roadside. He was at once taken to the surface, but expired almost immediately, death being due to heart failure. [Scotsman 14 December 1926]
