The vein runs vertically up the hill south of the village. The mine tips are a prominent local landmark. It was worked from the 18th century to the early 20th by a series of levels, several of which are still open. Vugs are very scarce. Note: Tyndrum used to be in Perthshire until that county was abolished in 1975, and split between Central and Tayside Regions. When they were abolished in the 1990s, it became part of Stirling District.
