Shiel Farm
This farm is adjacent to an area of old limestone and coal workings and has waste bings from the coal pits quite close to the back of the farm buildings. The lands of Gilminscroft were noted for their output of lime to the local farms in the 18th and 19th centuries, which explains the rich green pasture found in an area where glacial till forms the surface material and where wet, boggy conditions should be the norm .

Disused waste bing
Reminder of the former coal mining activity on Airds Moss in the 19th century. The Gilminscroft pits provided employment for miners from Sorn, but there were also a number of small mining settlements located across Airds Moss. Darnconnor in NS5723 was one of the larger communities at that time.
