Ironmacannie Mill

Later 18th century in origin, existing buildings mainly 19th

century. L-shaped grain mill with kiln at E, whinstone rubble

walling. Windows mainly to S elevation overlooking Shirmers

Burn. Single-light sharp arrised openings, some with

fixed-frame 6-pane glazed windows. Corrugated-iron roofs.

Iron overshot waterwheel at E gable in rubble wheel pit.

Decaying timber sluice mechanism, lade now diverted away from

wheel. Smaller cast-iron wheel to S side of kiln, formerly

providing power to kiln bellows.

Internally much of the mill machinery survives including

gearing for 3 sets of stones in original wooden casing and

sack hoists. The kiln too is almost complete and retains its

iron fire-proof door and some perforated tiles of drying

floor.
