This is the view from a Image in the village of Image The houses on the right are in a residential development called Cattermills (Image). There were, at various times, a sawmill (see Image) and a corn mill beside the burn, on the NW side (the area that is on the right in this photograph), as well as a quarry. The place-name Cattermills appears to be older than the name Croftamie: Roy's Military Survey (1740s-50s) shows a Cautermill here. On the subject of names, there is a Spittal just to the east of the village of Croftamie. This was Spittal of Easter Catter, or, as it once was, the Temple Lands of Easter Catter; compare http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1423575 See http://www.valeofleven.org.uk/eastlochlomond.html#croftamie (at the Vale of Leven website) for a useful discussion of the various local industries.
