Old Photograph Russell Mill Bridge Cupar Fife Scotland

Old photograph of Russell Mill bridge over the River Eden near Cupar, Fife, Scotland. Russell Mill was the largest spinning mill in North East Fife. Founded in 1818 by George Moon, pioneer flax spinner, and operated, from 1860 by Smith, Laing and Company, flax and jute spinning. It closed in 1935. The River Eden is one of Fife's two principal rivers, along with the River Leven. It is nearly 30 miles long and has a fall of around 300 feet. It flows from Burnside, near the border with Perthshire, then slowly across the Howe of Fife, until drained in the 18th and 19th centuries a flat and waterlogged basin, and through the market town of Cupar to Guardbridge, where it enters the North Sea via the Eden Estuary, an important conservation area for wading birds and a nature reserve. The river holds a good stock of wild brown trout and hosts a fair run of sea trout and Atlantic salmon.
