Summary

Description

19th century corn mill with well-preserved interior machinery; also adjoining kiln to west and threshing barn to north; (ie essentially 3 ranges, in T-plan); detached miller's house nearby, to east. All built of rubble, contrasting yellow ashlar (mostly dorved) dressings, slate roofs.

MAIN MILL BUILDING 3 storeys, piend-roofed, symmetrical centre-doored 3-bay east front elevation, mill wheel on long west wall (lade approaches from north) in open area covered by loft which links kiln range to west and whose roof is integrated with main roof. Main building appparently free-standing when built (probably in first quarter of centruy), and only 2 storeys high; centre 1st floor loft doorway appears to have originally been a window like the others on that elevation (all now with 4-pane glazing). Mill wheel has lost its spokes and buckets, but shaft survives; inside, 2 pairs will stones (upper stone removed from each); on 1st floor, grain bruiser; complex gearing at ground floor; also series power shafts, sack hoists, etc.

KILN range on 2 levels, outshot on south flank (possibly fire box cover), entrance alongside to kiln furnace. Loft main enterance in west gable at level of roadway (exploiting slope of site); blocked openings; timber flooring overlays kiln mouth.

THRESHING BARN added between 1859-1897 (OS maps). 2 storeys, 3 bays, front wall on same wall-pane as original block, droved quoins of latter serve as left-hand door jam, quoins above (to eaves level of lower range only

removed to integrate walling, corresponding door to right less tightly-placed at angle - otherwise elevation is symmetrical; centre window at ground, boarded loft opening above, the latter flanked by single slit ventilators whose ashlars appear to be re-used from a much ealier building; brick patching at eaves.

MILLER'S HOUSE (to east of mill) a south-facing single storey centre-doored 3-bay cottage, also built between 1859-1897 (OS maps). Altered - eg doubling of original windows to bipartite (though at a compartatively early date, re-using original dressings), pair large rooflights, single-bay extension on west gable. Plate glass sash windows; end stacks.

Modern brick outbuilding.

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.
