The National Mining Museum Scotland at Newtongrange, three miles south of the Edinburgh bypass. Located in the buildings of the old Lady Victoria Colliery, it provides an amazing insight into an industry once vital to Scotland and now gone.

More of my #etching of the #NationalMiningMuseum #Scotland. I've lifted the sugar to leave the silhouette of the winding gear. Then I put down a rosin #aquatint. I've given the stopped out areas of the plate a coat with a Posca pen as I've found that the particles of aquatint can affect the stop causing tint holes to appear. I've also used resist pen and wax on the cables and some for the structure of the tower so these should come out a bit lighter. Next step etching.
