The 91st Argyllshire Highlanders were raised in 1794 and the 93rd Sutherland Highlanders in 1799, the two regiments amalgamating in 1881. They served at Waterloo, in India, South Africa and the Far East and elsewhere. The Regimental Museum has displays of uniforms, weapons, medals and documents illustrating the history of the Regiment over more than 200 years.

The Colliery had an active life from 1910 until closure in April 1970. The former Mine Manager's office has many displays relating to the geology, mine operations, safety and history of the pit itself. There are also exhibits outside in the former pit yard and the Red Rose Steam Society has the largest preserved collection of former colliery under-ground locomotives in the country, which eventually will be included as part of a narrow gauge passenger-carrying railway around the site.
