There's a hole through my park, Ladyha', Ladyha'
The Earls of Eglinton, like many other landowners, were keen to develop any mineral resources that could be found under their land and Eglinton Castle, between Kilwinning and Irvine, sat above several useful seams of coal and iron. One of the collieries sunk was hidden in a strip of woodland in Ladyha' Park, north-west of the castle, and to get the coal to his ironworks situated only a mile or so away, a short branch line was built, with a tunnel under a rise in the ground. This tunnel, approximately 150 yards long, still survives in what is today Eglinton Country Park, with padlocked gates on both ends. There are also ruins of the former colliery, which finally closed in the 1920s. This is the inside of the tunnel, looking towards the north portal, reflected in water that has collected on the floor.
