Hi there. I could do with more information on Holm Mill myself. I suspect it may be tied in with my family.

Mr great uncle, James MacDonald (1873 - 1966), owned 8 acres of land and leased more on which he grazed around 6000 sheep. This land was on the side of the river between Inverness and Ness Castle. On the top end of his land was a mill. At some point, James went into partnership with James Pringle.

I don't have any more information than that. No dates either. I am surmising that the mill was Holm Mill based on the location and the current owners.

Any help gratefully received.

Alan
