A FUN-FILLED family day is taking place at barony A Frame tomorrow (July 2) to learn more about the area's history.

Organised by Eco-Museum of Scottish Mining Landscapes, the free event will run from 11am-12.30pm.

If you are interested in fossils, plants & wildlife, art, mining history and heritage then this event is for you.

You can book your tickets online now.

There will be plenty of time to explore the wider heritage park which surrounds the A-Frame and to read the interpretation boards which tell the story of the colliery.

The family day is designed for intergenerational learning, through a series of fun-filled activities.

Any under 18s must be accompanied by an adult, and the event is due to be photographed.
