Statement of Interest

James Reid suggests that the mill may have originated in the early 17th century, with the kiln dating from the 18th century being the earliest remaining part. The mill was last used as a meal mill, and ceased functioning in 1931; it is in a ruinous condition. The mill forms part of a B group with the Mill House and Former Road Bridge over Knapp Burn; the group is particularly picturesque when viewed from Rossie Policies across the Knapp Burn.
