Hugh Cameron Of Lawers

Extracted from Map/Maps at Library of Scotland:


It shows two means of communication, namely, the road running along the north side from Killin to Kenmore with a bridge across the burn of Lawers and the ferry at Miltown of Lawers ; it shows a  'miln’ (a meal mill) on Miltown of Lawers and a ‘lint miln’ 1 on Drumnaferoch; it indicates a comparatively large house, no doubt that inhabited by Colin Campbell’s widow...".

1 Most, if not all, of the lint mills in Breadalbane, and many others in different parts of the country, are said to have been erected by Hugh Cameron, who was born at Lawers in 1705 and who is said to have lived for 112 years. It is thought that he introduced spinning-wheels into Breadalbane.
