Old Mill, Allt na Muilne,Taransay Situated between Loch Shinnadale and Loch a'Chromlaich, the mill was operational until around 1840. Allt na Muilne was the only reliable stream on the island of Taransay as a dam had been built on Loch Shinnadale and the water could be rushed down the Allt (stream/burn) during dry periods.
