Full Description
Remains of mill, mid to late 19th Century, shown on the OS maps from the 1st edition onwards where it is initially shown as a Corn Mill. It is a 3-storey rubble building on an L-plan with a very fine distillery type kiln. Wooden lean-to added to house a gas engine by Thomas Shanks. A water turbine was also used, with a complex system of wooden drum-type pulleys, to drive a sawmill. Disused and partly dismantled in 1974 when recorded by Hume. Shown as disused on the 2006 map where a substantial section of the mill lade to the east of the mill is also still shown.
