http://www.mineral.org.uk/edu/scotintro.shtml Link Broken

Not just coal!  But oil, salt, gold, and other quarries.  This site gives some maps and links to other resources.

It's worth remembering that many workers moved around for work and if you lose your ancestor in one place check records to other areas where they could of found work.

All the best,
