Mill Inn, Dunnottar Avenue, Stonehaven

The Mill Inn, located on Dunnottar Avenue in Stonehaven, is a former coaching inn dating from the late 18th century and around 1830. It was converted into flats in 1998. This two-storey and attic building has an L-shaped plan and features a seven-bay façade. The exterior is constructed of red sandstone ashlar, with coursed squared rubble on the sides and squared and snecked rubble, along with some harl, at the rear. It has a cornice and a blocking course.

On the south elevation, the ground floor showcases a colonnade with outer pilasters and a Doric entablature that includes triglyphs, metopes, and guttae. There is a mutuled cornice and blocking course across the three central bays, which contain a window flanked by panelled timber doors with four-pane fanlights. The remaining bays have windows, and there is smaller, regular fenestration close to the eaves on the first floor. The blocking course features a raised centre with a corniced ashlar tablet and a painted panel that reads 'THE MILL INN'. There are two slate-hung piended dormer windows on each side behind the blocking course.

The west elevation has an M-gabled design, with an earlier, slightly smaller gable to the left. It includes four windows on the ground floor, three irregularly spaced windows on the first floor, and two windows in the attic.

The north elevation features an advanced earlier block to the right with a window on each floor and three dormers above. The left return has a variety of openings, while a harled block to the left contains a door, and to the right, there are two windows on each floor with a bipartite dormer above.

The east elevation is a blank gabled wall, adjoining No 4 Mill Inn Road on the right. The building has replacement timber sash and case windows with 12- and 24-pane glazing patterns, and timber casement windows with an 8-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates and stone ridges, featuring coped ashlar gablehead stacks with polygonal cans, and ashlar-coped skews with block skewputts.

The interior has been modernized for the flats.
