Abstract

"Lead mining in Scotland was never one of Scotland’s leading industries, as was noted by Smout (1967) in one of the few papers devoted to this. Possible interest in it can maybe based on two aspects; firstly that it saw some very rich mines in the 18th and 19th centuries, at Wanlockhead and Leadhills in particular, and secondly they way in which the exploitation of the resource drew on business organisation from England."
