I took this photo during a visit to Lansing, Michigan on November 1, 2011. After touring the R. E. Olds Museum we had dinner at the Restaurant Mediteran near the Michigan State Capitol. I noticed the beautiful architecture Atrium Square just a few doors from the restaurant.

Mill Of Mundorno Farm is now long gone, today the water wheel building stands as it was back in the old days, the field surrounding it is water logged with trickles of water still flowing towards the drain at the base.
The site is now owned by a Premier Inn bar and restaurant who have taken the name of the farm .
I can find no information anywhere on the internet ref the original Farm, hence I can only submit the photos I captured on the day I visited and hope you can appreciate this piece of Scottish history as much as I do.
I've posted below the info from Wiki ref Watermills to at least give a little understanding of the sites purpose back in the day .
A watermill or water mill is a mill that utilizes hydropower. It is a structure that uses a water wheel or water turbine to drive a mechanical process such as milling (grinding), rolling, or hammering. Such processes are needed in the production of many material goods, including flour, lumber, paper, textiles, and many metal products. Thus watermills may be comprise gristmills, sawmills, paper mills, textile mills, hammermills, trip hammering mills, rolling mills, wire drawing mills.
One major way to classify watermills is by wheel orientation (vertical or horizontal), one powered by a vertical waterwheel through a gearing mechanism, and the other equipped with a horizontal waterwheel without such a mechanism.
Travelling up the Western Freeway there are a number of roadworks being developed to widen the road. I noticed this bluestone church sitting nearly on the edge of the road, it is obviously remaining put as there has been a special road made so parishiners came still attend. We pulled off to the side so I could capture the old bluestone buliding. There were a couple of ladies working inside, I asked if it was ok to take a photo & they gave me their blessings, very proud of their old church, the lady commented how she was married there & still going 36 years on. Looks like a new roof too, so the old church must be doing ok.
visiting the outernet......
Think about it...

Continuing in the historical theme from yesterday - some old fashioned children's books. Some from my original collection, including Nancy Drew, and a one from my grandfather's childhood when he was growing up in Scotland (Ti-Ti-Pu A Boy of Red River).
