Lassodie No. 8 Pit

Owners: Lassodie Coal Co.

Very little is known about the Lassodie No. 8 Pit which was located at the northern tip of North Loch Wood, to the south-west of Whinnyhall. A single entry in a record of 1881 indicates that the No. 8 worked the Splint seam at a depth of 20 fathoms. The workforce of 125 (underground) and 26 (surface) was split between the No. 8 and No. 9 pits of the colliery, the latter working the 5 feet seam.
No reference to the No. 8 pit appears in the record of 1882.
