You can see the mill lade which served Cessintully Mill The Watermill was built in C15th rebuilt in C19th now disused.
The Mill Pond is upstream and to east of B826.
Situated on an elevated position, Thornhill is an historic and attractive village with marvellous views across the Carse of Stirling (one of the largest flood plains in Scotland). So large were these plains that when the bogs were drained, remains of whales up to 25 metres long were found in the clay.
Other remains found give evidence that Mesolithic people found plentiful supplies of shellfish, wildfowl and deer.
Founded in the aftermath of the 1745 rebellion to house displaced highlanders, Thornhill consists of a single main street with the masons hall (reputedly Scotlands smallest) at one end and the parish church at the other.
A cache hidden near a busy road junction so please park sensibly.
