Roybridge, Mill House

Former Station House, Robert Wemyss, c.1894, instantly recognisable amidst the rash of mediocre modern housing as a replica of others on the line, although here the station buildings have been demolished. At Bunroy, below Henry Burrell's School of 1876, a ruined 18th-century Mill in the woods near the river - L-plan, rubble with ashlar frontage, still with its stone-lined lade and wheel. Above, Miller's House, probably by John Rhind, 1870/2, incorporates an earlier cottage in its rear wing. It is unusual in having been built by the laird (Mackintosh) as a retirement home for local priest Father Donald Forbes, becoming the miller's house after his death.
