A group photo at Gullane miners home last week with some of the first wave of visitors for the summer, showing everyone enjoying the Jubilee weekend.

Gullane Miners’ Holiday Complex opened last week for the summer intake, open untill September, with ex-miners and their families encouraged to visit.

A poster has been distributed to miners clubs in the Lothians to remind retired miners, their families and mining club members that they can use the complex at Whatton Lodge.

With a contribution of £200 per person allowing visitors to stay for 10 days on full board with entertainment also provided.

Lothian Mineworkers Convalescent Home Trust was set-up in 1948 to provide breaks and respite for ex-miners and their families.

There are still seven intakes available this summer, with two Christmas intakes also available. Email: [email protected] or call 01620 842278 to enquire about these available intakes.
