Tyndrum photos.
It is good to these on the site. I regard the Tyndrum lead and zinc mines to be one of the most complete mines in Scotland.
True there is very little surface features except the incline which was used in the last operations to tram the ore to the mill , but it it is very intact underground, with a nice ladder way going up to stopes.
My major concern here is what might happen as the Coninish gold mine is driven towards it from the other side of the hill.
