Hogmanay walk with Pirate and Bro







we saw these four years ago..looking derelict..now they have been spruced up and are lived in!!






 Down to the overflow into the river Ayr..but I think that this is used to generate electricity...

It looks like an interesting walk. So much history there. All the best for the new year!

This is a beautiful and very interesting walk. The river looks robust and likely produces a good amount of electricity. The riverside mills converted to homes makes excellent use of the buildings. Homes with a river view are usually highly sought after. Everybody benefits.

Happy Scottish new year to you and to Pirate!

Happy New Year. Good that the houses are now lived in.

How good that the building is spruced up and being lived in again. Happy 2024.

That's a lot of water (didn't you just have a bit of rain?) Loved seeing it, and your fellas...one you grew up with and one you've been with, how many years? I keep asking questions as if you might answer...silly me.

Barbs we have had damp or rainy days for weeks! The water flow was impressive. The river Ayr does rise up seriously at times..where it starts from,the hills are quite bare, so the run off is fast.
Pirate and me have been together since May 2012 now!! Hard to believe that sometimes.

Susan the mills are no longer there..but a small water powered turbine from the runoff from the Voes is a good start. An example for others to follow
