Mill This ruin of a mill lies west of Easter Auquhollie near Rickarton. The sluice
is hidden by the fallen Sycamore tree, but the large stone in front is where
one side of the axle of the waterwheel rested on with the other end going through the hole in the wall. The water that powered the mill must have come from a spring as there is no sign of a river or burn at that height on the hill.
