This rather attractive bridge crosses the Mill Burn on its way out of the loch. The burn formerly supplied water to a local paper mill, hence its name. The burn also provided at least one enterprising mill worker with supplementary income. He would set eel traps at the start of his night shift, collect the contents at the end of the shift and take them to the station where they were put on the first available train to London! For reasons known only to previous generations, the path between this corner eastwards to the 1960's car park was known as "The Boulevard" - very Auld Alliance!
