Details of Event
3 May 1927: Pit Accident Near Irvine - Andrew Robertson, jun., fourteen years of age, son of Andrew Robertson, Newhouse, Gailes, near Irvine, met with a serious accident while at work at Montgomeryfield Pit, Dreghorn, yesterday. It appears that he had been clearing out a number of waggons at the pithead, and it is thought that while in a waggon he was struck by the mechanical conveyor. He was terribly injured about the head and face, and was removed to Kilmarnock Infirmary. [Scotsman 4 May 1927]
