Abstract
AbstractThe Bucket Mill at Finzean (pronounced Fing-an) in the parish of Birse, Aberdeenshire (O.S. map reference NO 577912) was the last working example of a class of rural industrial building at one time reasonably common in that area. As the name suggests, its products were timber buckets or pails and small tubs of various sizes, made not by the normal coopering methods but by wood-turning on a lathe. The mill closed in April 1974, when the owner suffered a stroke leaving him unable to work.The site of the Bucket Mill is in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the north bank of the Water of Feugh on the edge of the Forest of Birse, a part of southern Deeside bordering the County of Angus. The mill is situated on the estate ofFinzean which has been in the possession of the Farquharson family since 1609.
