Bleachfield Millheugh.

Many years have passed since the site was inhabited by monks who brewed a form of alcoholic drink……
Some time latter linen made locally was laid out on the fields to bleach.
With mining and salmon fishing provided more employment.
Much latter a development of residential houses the Briars followed .
The area has great natural beauty. With Morgan Glen a short walk a spot of scientific and special interest.
The fine walk to Chatelherault starts by Applebank then over the Millheugh road bridge and follow the signs.
The viaduct is the highest in Scotland crosses the river Avon within Morgan Glen.
