Mousemill Bridge

Mousemill Bridge is a crossing of the Mouse Water on Mousemill Road, just north of Kirkfieldbank. There are two bridges at the site, the present day road bridge and the old Mousemill Bridge which previously formed part of the road between Lanark and Hamilton through Kirkfieldbank[3] but is today solely used by pedestrians.

gollark: - nice, nonbrackety haskell syntax- functional-programming-oriented- strongly typed- pragmatic and not horribly complicated - yes, selective applicative functors or whatever new haskell thing is now being worked on may be elegant, but learning every needlessly fancy thing just takes away from *actually writing useful stuff*- good tooling (see: Rust; run screaming from: Go, C(++))- web platform, ideally (yes, it has Problems™, but there's something to be said for ability to just navigate to a webpage and run your stuff- good libraries/community
