If you look closely at the background of the above photo you can just make out the original outfall next to the High Court.

Given that there's been no rain for yonks filling the gutters, from whence cometh the deluge? The new railed deck at the loch pier is superb, by the way, reminiscent of the stern of a Clyde steamer!

Huggy wrote:Re' the Molendinar visible above ground, the stretch between the Frankfield Loch & Hogganfield Loch is referred to on the maps as the Molendinar, but was only cut in the 1670s to suppliment the flow for the town mills. The first sluice on the Hogganfield was built in the 1400s with the building of the first mill. The last mill, Provan Mill, closed in 1905, the site of the wee park in the pic's, with the obligatory traffic cone!
