40 AGRICULTURAL SURVEY OF thap. I* 



one flour mill, and one coal-engine. Lochorr 

 has been lately drained by the proprietor ; by 

 which means he has added above a hundred 

 acres of land to his estate. But while the pro- 

 prietor of the loch has been a gainer, the pro- 

 prietors of the mills have been materially injur- 

 ed by the drainage. The loch was originally a 

 natural reservoir, in which the water was col- 

 lected, and from which a regular and sufficient 

 supply was furnished at all seasons. But now, 

 that the dam is removed, and the water allowed 

 to run ofF as it gathers, the mills, in a long 

 course of dry weather, are but scantily supplied, 

 and must occasionally stop. Besides, the haughs. 

 and lo\v grounds, upon the banks of the water, 

 ure liable to be overflowed and injured, in time 

 of floods or great falls of rain ; there being no- 

 thing now to prevent their running oft' as they 

 are collected. 



This water, issuing from mossy ground, and 

 in its course being mixed with coal -water, has 

 never been used for the purpose of bleaching. 

 Trout, pike, perch, and eels are to be found in 

 it, but no salmon.

 in the parish of Balingry, runs upon flat ground 

 through the parish of Kinglassie, and falls into 

 the Orr, about half a mile below the road that 

 leads from Kirkaldy to\ the New-Inn. This is 

 a small stream, except in rainy weather. Fish 

 the same as in the Orr. Only one lint-mill upon 

 it. 



3<y, The Lcven, which issues from the cele- 

 brated Loch-Leven, in Kinross-shire, and from 

 which, it takes its name. This water runs east-
