Welltrees Mine No 3 (1848-1867)

Served by the Muirkirk Branch (Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway).

Description

Welltrees was on the east side of the Welltrees Burn. It was served by a short branch from Welltrees Siding on the Muirkirk line which ran south beside the east bank of the Welltrees burn.

The mine was already long closed by the time of the 1867 accident at Welltrees Siding. The branch was used to store surfacemen's bogies.
