Can I ask why you are asking as it may affect the answer. I'm puzzled as to what info you could be asking for since presumably there is no active mine there now and a letter wouldn't be delivered.
There are some maps here:

Thanks for your answer factor30. In answer to your question, I'm on a committee reviewing the Mines Act (1842) in view of a government recommendation of its possible amendment for contemporary use. Longannet is a case study in the report and I can't find its precise location for reference. Scottish Coal have went defunct and none of the private mining firms have been any help in phoning me back to let me know if they have Longannet's postal address on any of their correspondence records.
Could not just quote a map reference? I can't remember what they are called - longitude and latitude is all I can remember at this time of day.

Failing that maybe the local council, tourist boards, historic organisations or even an old miner?

Good luck and good night.

I take it you have tried the long winded Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland
It is unlikely that the mine itself had a postal address since administration of the Longannet complex was from Castlebridge Colliery.
