According to an information panel near the Cemetery's entrance, "the worst pit disaster in the area happened on an early morning shift in 1913 when 22 miners were killed in the Cadder Pit no. 15 .... A collective memorial for the eleven Catholic miners was erected in St Kentigern's RC Cemetery, and individual stones were raised for the others in Lambhill Cemetery".
Detailed accounts of the disaster and its aftermath are given at http://scottishmining.co.uk/21.html (at the Scottish Mining website).
Pit 15 was located at about Image The pit 17 that is mentioned several times in the reports was located at about Image I have given those locations here because a few sources (although not the website just cited) erroneously place the scene of the disaster in what is now an area of woodland (Image) not far to the south of the cemetery. The pits are shown and numbered on the relevant 25-inch-to-the-mile OS maps (Pit 15 on Lanarkshire Sheet 001.09 & 10, and Pit 17 on Lanarkshire Sheet 001.11, all of these maps being published in 1912).
