The Old Mill Bell and 'The Wee Man'
Image: © M J Richardson Taken: 27 Sep 2008
'The Wee Man' is the original statue from the village War Memorial of 1921. Smaller than life-size, it was stolen in 1998. A new statue was provided for the War Memorial, but the Wee Man was found in 2000 and replaced here in 2001. The bell is from the original Walkerburn mill, and was used to summon men to work and to signal lunch breaks.
