The “A” Frame is all that remains of a formal coal mine at Barony, near Auchinleck in Ayrshire, and is a local landmark, which serves as a memorial to those who worked and died at the Barony Colliery.

We were involved in the construction of infrastructure works, hard and soft landscaping, as part of the Barony “A” Frame restoration project, which is managed and financed by the Barony “A” Frame Trust along with support from Historic Scotland , Heritage Lottery Fund, East Ayrshire Council, East Ayrshire Community Planning Partnership, Cumnock and Doon Valley Minerals Trust, The Coalfields Regeneration Trust, Forward Scotland’s Community Environmental Renewal Scheme, SCORE, Scottish Coal Industry Special Welfare Fund and the ‘People’s Millions lottery fund.

The value of our contract was £391,891 and was carried out over 2No phases.  The first phase involved the construction of car parking facilities, while the restoration works to the “A” Frame was ongoing.   After the works on the “A” Frame were completed, the hard and soft landscaping surrounding the frame commenced.
