In the 16th century the Morrison family owned the Prestongrange lands. Their name survives in the present-day Morrison's Haven, the harbour of Prestongrange.
In the early 17th century, Mark Ker took possession of the lands from the abbey, and after the Grant Suttie family took over, the Prestongrange Colliery was no longer productive and fell into disuse.
In 1830, Sir George Grant Suttie leased Prestongrange Colliery to Matthias Dunn, the Inspector of Mines.

Tour Scotland travel video of the beam engine at Prestongrange Museum on visit between Musselburgh and Prestonpans, East Lothian. Coal is documented as being worked here from the 12th C. The colliery had the first deep shaft in Scotland, sunk in 1830 to the Great Seam at 420 feet. The colliery had the last Cornish beam engine remaining in situ in Scotland. It closed in 1962 but during site clearance work was stopped as a new plan was adopted to form a heritage site and museum. By 1968 a commitee was in place and the Scottish Mining Museum was launched at Prestongrange on 28 September 1984. Artefacts came from around the coalfield and were stored at Prestongrange.

With the closure of Lady Victoria Colliery at Newtongrange in 1981 the ambitions of the steering group expanded to include that site, they operated together from 1984 to 1992 when Prestongrange was withdrawn from the Scottish Mining Museum by East Lothian Council and recast as Prestongrange Industrial Heritage Museum, encompassing many other forms of local industrial heritage.
