Our staff and volunteers have been working for over a decade to make our museum collections and archives accessible to all. Our recording and research works link these unique resources into an encyclopedia of knowledge of value to many, and with special appeal to those with family roots in the industry and the communities that served it .

If you've found the contents of https://www.scottishshale.co.uk/ useful to your own researches, we'd greatly welcome any small donation to help offset the cost of our work and the maintenance of this web resource. Our charity recieves no national or local government funding towards our work.

The Museum of the Scottish Shale Oil Industry is one of the charitable activities of the Almond Valley Heritage Trust.
