Fowlis Mill, Fowlis Easter

This is a late 18th-century grain mill, extended in the early to mid-19th century, incorporating a cartshed and barns to form an L-shaped group. An inset datestone reading '1714' is present. The mill is situated on a sloping site beside Fowlis Burn at the head of Fowles Den. It is constructed of rubble stone with stugged ashlar dressings and a slate roof. Many of the windows and openings are blocked, derelict, or have lost their astragled frames.

The south elevation features a central, asymmetrical block with an arrow-slit ventilator above the centre. Windows are visible to the ground and first floors on the left side, while a dormerheaded window with a half-piended roof is positioned far to the left. A door is located on the left return elevation, and further windows and a door with a window above are on the right side, with a large opening to the first floor return. Five rooflights are visible. To the left of the central block, a recessed section features a door and a sliding door to the right and a blocked doorway that has been converted into a window to the left, masked by a roofed yard. A later bay projects from the far left with a half-piended roof. A segmental cart-arch is also masked by the roofed yard within the re-entrant angle, flanked by a coped rubble wall and two gate piers with hemispherically capped tops. The block to the right is also recessed, featuring a stone forestair with a platt supported by a brick wall, alongside a door and a further door on the right. A 1st floor door and window are present to the left, while two cart-arch openings and two windows are situated to the right, with two rooflights above. A single-storey bay with a collapsed piended roof sits to the far right, enclosed by rubble yard walls and featuring the same gate piers. The west elevation is largely blank, with a blocked doorway on the left.

The north elevation, alongside Fowlis Burn, likely represents the earlier part of the mill, with a door and two windows of differing sizes on the right, and two smaller windows above. A steel-framed window is on the first floor, supplemented by three windows on the second floor, with quoins marking the original building angles on the left and right. A later bay adjoins the left side, featuring a window on the second floor, while another bay to the right has a blocked segmental arch at ground floor level. An advanced block on higher ground to the right consists of a single-storey section with two windows, one of which is bricked up.

Internally, the machinery has been removed. The ground floor and basement contain a fireplace likely for a kiln, three grinding stones, a small fanning machine, and evidence of machine fixings on the walls and floor.

A later 19th-century, single-storey, rectangular outbuilding is located to the southeast, with rubble construction and a half-piended slate roof. Various openings are present on the north side, including a partially blocked segmental cart-arch. The roof is partially ruinous. Adjoining the mill to the northwest is a road bridge over Fowlis Burn, potentially dating back to the 18th century. It is a single-span, segmental-arch structure with rubble, stugged rubble voussoirs, and a rubble coped parapet. Remains of sluice walls are present to the northwest, and the pond has been drained.
