269. The Old Mill


This is a bit of a sorry sight nowadays, but was once a thriving flax mill providing employment for lots of people.  I believe it was closed in the 1930s.

  2. The mill was working as a jute mill after the 2nd world war owned by a Mr Burness and after that as a paper mill owned by Middleton's of Aberdeen into the 1950's, after that a Chicken concern took it over, after that I don't know. Clark Simpson would probably Mr Burness's son - in - law John Wrightson who played centre forward for the Dauntless in their good old days.
