Hi List

I sent this in the middle of last night but haven't seen it broadcast yet
[1 pm Wednesday]. Apologies if the dam breaks and you get it twice.

[Am I alone in thinking there've been very few messages this month?
Has the system collapsed? I hope not!!]

Regards to all Ray

I've done a detailed search of all place-names on the 1896 [one inch]
and 2002 [2.5 inch] maps for Old Deer. The only likely place is the Mill
of Bruxie as Joyce Henderson says. The grid reference is NJ956489.
If you paste this into Multimap [and adjust the zoom out one stop!] you'll
see it's just north west of Deer Abbey. It's unnamed on multimap but
that's the one.
