Hello Jan

The answer is yes (probably).

The problem is describing where it is as many landmarks shown on Google maps are in the wrong place. Attached is a picture, courtesy Google maps. The house on the right is Bridge House and on the left Mill Bridge Cottage, with corrugated iron roof and not lived in now.

The picture at the top of the page shows the Serpentarium which is housed in the old watermill. At the far end of the building was the water wheel and you can see a small footbridge which crosses the Allt a Mhuillin (Mill Stream), Immediately behind the old mill is the Mill Bridge which carries the old main road (single track) to Portee. Bridge House can be seen but Mill Bridge Cottage is obscured.

Hope that helps
