The CARDEN MILL is possibly of the same period as the USSIE MILL but, although the lade can be identified, only the outline ruins of the building foundation can be seen.

Brick and Tile Works

On a later map, dated 1847, a brick and tile works is shown as being in production on a site immediately below the old road bridge at the north-east end of the village and probably continued in operation to a much later date. In fact, the modernisation of some old properties in Maryburgh has revealed the use of MARYBURGH BRICKS.
