Summary

Description

Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

The Corn Mill is an early 19th century corn mill, L-plan and built into the side of an incline so that it can be accessed from both ground and 1st floor levels. It is built of random rubble with large rubble quoins, with stugged coursed ashlar behind the water wheel. There is a quoin stone inscribed 16 WM 67 which is was almost certainly taken from a building that previously stood on the site, indicating that there has been a mill at the heart of this small hamlet for several centuries. The mill was converted to residential use in the late 20th century, and several additional openings were inserted at that time.

The L-plan mill is composed of 2 gabled wings, one orientated N-S, the other projecting E from the N end. The ground floor entance was a segmental archway with a raised keystone, positioned on the E elevation of the N-S wing; this opening is now infilled with a glazed screen and mdern door. Above this opening is a double gable-headed window breaking the eaves; this is a modern insertion. There are also 3 modern openings inserted on the S elevation of the E-W wing. Access to the 1st floor is gained through an original door opening in the E gable of the E-W wing. From the N, the mill has a single storey appearance, as only the 1st floor rises above ground level.

The W elevation retains the restored 14 foot diameter cast iron overshot wheel, situated to the left side; the area of wall behind this is stugged coursed squared sandstone, a modern double window had been inserted behind the wheel; rubble walling, remains of the mill lade, runs parallel to this elevation. The ground floor window to the right is a rebuilt original opening; the central 1st floor window is a modern insertion.

Interior:

No original features of significance appear to remain.

Materials:

Random rubble with rubble quoins and stugged rubble margins; ashlar cills, lintels and mullions. Modern 12-pane stained timber sash and case windows. Pitched roofs, slightly graded slates, stone skews and skewputts. Non- original stone wall-head stack to W elevation.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
