Full Description

A project of surveying and recording the archaeological sites within the grounds of Castle Leod was carried out by members of the North of Scotland Archaeological Society (NOSAS) in the winter of 2012-13.

Site 13. Mill lade tail race. Aligned WNW-ESE this channel is roughly 70m in length and generally 3m in width and up to 0.8m in depth. At its NW end it bifurcates and both channels are then truncated by the road. This tail race probably emerged from a mill which was on the site of the present saw mill. Mills are not depicted on any of the maps. <1>

Note: GIS spatial data amended to location as seen on 'Policies of Castle Leod' plan p.9 (T. Blackie 3/2/20)
