Catrine again, industrial history

 Walking upriver this time, past the Voes, or header ponds for water power to the mills.

The water went from them through a tunnel to the mills and bleach works.

We walked further up from the renovated weir and fish ladder, until we could see Sorn Castle. As we turned back it began to rain lightly, and as we arrived back to the town the decorations on the street lights lit up.

Despite some places where they have silted up, there is a considerable water flow through the Voes.

Apparently these are council property apart from a single and a double flat...and there is no money to renovate them.
