- 5 December 1928: Fallin Pit Fatality - A fatality occurred at No.3 pit, Fallin [Polmaise] Colliery, about midnight on Monday. Robert Somerville, brushing contractor, was at work at the face when a large stone fell on top of him. Two hours elapsed before Somerville could be released, and when extricated he was found to be dead. As a mark of sympathy the pit was idle yesterday. [Scotsman 5 December 1928]
