Saltcoats Miners Home

Saltcoats Miners Home was a refuge for miners who suffered from accidents or chest disorders. They would be sent here for care and recuperation.

Of course, it wasn't unusual for miners to fake illness so that they could have a rest at the Home, as this is the only holiday they would ever get.
