Anthea Vaughan In 2005 I bought what was then a derelict weaving mill in Rogart. Everyone thought I was nuts but I had long wanted to live up in the north and this building and t cried out for attention Murdo, I am a stranger to you but I share your love of the north. In fact, it prompted me to buy the derelict weaving mill in Rogart. It cried out for renovation. Everyone thought I was nuts but I have never regretted for one moment that buy. With a broken bridge to the front door, electricity cables running across filthy floors etc I camped under duvets galore and slept well. And so it went on.It is now a fully functioning home with the joy of falling asleep to the sound of the corrie burn rumbling by. It is reluctantly now in the hands of new owners …😒 Sorry if this has been an intrusion of your privacy.Its just that , some I found your post by chance and it triggered great memories of that part of the north!
