Provost Gillian Renwick and Leader of East Dunbartonshire Council, Councillor Gordan Low, attended a service to commemorate those who died in the Auchengeich Mining Disaster.

Forty-seven men lost their lives when a fire broke out at the colliery on the 18 September 1959. Provost Renwick and Councillor Low joined family, friends and the local community to remember them on the 66th Anniversary of the disaster.

Beautiful, colourful flower arrangements laid against a sandstone-coloured wall with large black plaques interspersed along the brick work.  The plaques contain a list of names of those who died at the Auchengeich Mining Disaster in 1959.
