Title
Troup Head, Aberdeenshire
Description
A river of water is directed down the mountainside and through a mill by a simple wooden aquaduct. The water gushes down the hill and into a bay from which steep rocky cliffs rise. A walkway follows the contours of the base of the cliffs and the shoreline of the water, where men tend to a number of small fishing boats. A simple wooded bridge crosses the steam and makes its way up the hill and past the mill.
