Bridge of Bucket wool mill ruin - 16th May 2022
All that remains of this former woollen mill is a single building now in use as an animal shelter and store. It measures 16.6m from NW to SE by 5.7m transversely overall. Three of the walls are of stone, but the frontage on the SW is of timber and there is a corrugated iron roof. The interior contains three compartments at ground-level each with an entrance on the SW side. In addition, a loading platform at the SE end of the building gives access to a loft. This building is but one of six depicted here on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire 1870, sheet LXI), of which only four are shown on the 2nd edition of the map (1902, sheet LXI.NW). Little or no trace of the rest can be seen in the surrounding area of overgrown woodland.
