You might think, from the 1:25,000 map, that the mill shown on the riverbank here was Buckie's Mill, but you'd be wrong. There was a mill here, but it was called Mill of Buckie, and was quite separate from nearby Buckie's Mill. There is no longer any trace of it, but I was shown the site by a gentleman who had known it before it was demolished. He told me that the mill wheel overhung the River Carron; with the eye of faith, one might imagine that there is a groove in the bank which might have been a lade at one time long ago. The miller's house is a little way up the hill, very wisely, because the Carron has been known to flood.
