The identifier is the adjacent pit towers of the Rothes Pit, which unfortunately was subject to major geological problems and was closed shortly after the initial investment.

From at 2007-11-24 11:42:47 : Location is Polmont shed, D11 on the left is 62694
From Jim McGowan at 2009-01-10 21:01:01 : I also think it is Polmont. In the early 60's there were several Scottish Directors stored near the mainline which (if it is Polmont) is to the right of the photo.
