From the road at the south end of the loch, the line of mills astride the Clumlie Burn is a fine sight, falling away south-south-eastwards to the sea. There are nine mills in all, mostly quite ruinous except for the lowest building which was restored in 1929 and is still in working order, with all-feathered tid (this latter mill may be visited by taking the road to Troswick Farm down the north-east side of the burn). Each mill has its sluice a short distance upstream. Between the loch and the road, in a very boggy area at the head of the burn, there are the remains of two, probably successive, dams, the larger retaining the groove for its sluice-gate and the smaller having a wooden frame for the gate.
Close to the road just north of Clumlie are two fine circular planticrues.
