Description
Kelton Mill is a former corn mill, likely dating from the later 18th century, that has been enlarged and significantly altered over time. The building is constructed of painted rubble and is arranged in an L-shape. It is built into rising ground to the west, resulting in a single-storey appearance on that side. A section of the north jamb was raised to two storeys around 1850, and dressed quoins are visible on the upper floor. Small windows are present on the north and south sides, with a large garage door inserted into the north facade. A two-storey, piend-roofed bay projecting to the east was demolished to create an open terrace. The mill wheel has been removed. A serrated brick course runs along the eaves of the west jamb, and the entire building has slate roofs. In 1984, the mill was converted into domestic use by A C Wolffe and Partners, commissioned by the National Trust for Scotland.
Local climate
Kelton Mill sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,290 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 94% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 95% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 64% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°C per decade since 1991.
Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
