I've done a detailed search of all place-names on the 1896 [one inch] and 2002 [2.5 inch] maps for Old Deer. The only likely place
is the Mill of Bruxie as Joyce Henderson says. The grid reference is NJ956489. If you paste this into Multimap [and adjust the
zoom out one stop!] you'll see it's just north west of Deer Abbey. It's unnamed on multimap but that's the one!!
