Dictionary of mining terms used in Fife, from 'a-dipping' to 'yoke'. The glossary was compiled from published sources (listed in the glossary's bibliography, xi - xii) and from interviews of local miners and ex-miners. Words not in current (1980) oral use were discarded; words still in use that referred to objects and techniques no loger or rarely found in mines were included and designated 'obs.' (obsolete).
