Arbirlot, the photos




The tiny village of arbirlot, 2 1/2 miles west of Arbroath. Walking along Elliot Water and past the ruins of the old Meal Mill.

  8. What a nice walk you had! Even if it was too wet to sit and paint, you could always do a painting from one of your photos.

  12. Such a shame old buildings are allowed to be neglected like this.

  19. glad you asked that.... was just too lazy to put in the explanation for these few photos..... this is what remains of the weir / lock thingy..... the dipped ground, full of vegetation, in front of it was the 'pond'

  23. it is in some ways but they can't all be saved and the position of this.. right on the water in the middle of a wood makes it especially vulnerable. A few mile away there is one that has been restored and its in working order. I've been here and its well worth a visit. This is pretty much how this little Arbirlot mill would have looked.
