ABSTRACT
James Mill was born on 6 April 1773 in North Water Bridge, a village on what is now the A94 trunk road and which is situated half-way between the Angus town of Brechin to the south and the Kincardine town of Laurencekirk five miles to the north (The Royal Mail treats the latter as the postal town address of the village.) North Water Bridge is also approximately six miles north-west of the Angus coastal town of Montrose.
