Part of the mill complex at Old Bridge of Urr This building to the left is the Kiln House part of the original mill complex at Old Bridge of Urr. It is now being restored as a private house. Between it and the camera was a later wooden extension which has recently been demolished. The further building to the right is the Miller&#039;s House. It was later the post office and has also recently been restored. The mills themselves (a cornmill and saw mill sharing the same wheel) are out of shot to the right.
