Repair work at the Caul in Dumfries under way
The mill was converted into a hydroelectric station in 1911 and helped power the town’s street lighting but has since been rebuilt and is now home to the Robert Burns Centre and Film Theatre.Records show that a ford once existed close to where the Caul is and was used by pilgrims passing through Dumfries on the way to Whithorn and St Ninian’s Cave.
