This name was gathered as part of a local research project on the place-names of the Rough Bounds of Lochaber and was published in a booklet by SNH and AÀA. The Following quote appears in that booklet:
“Allt a’ Mhuilinn or, Millburn was, as the name suggests, the site of the mill. From the nineteenth century however it was occupied by the estate gamekeepers. The mill was probably situated at the present Port a’ Mhuilinn.”
