Description
Little Galdenoch is a range of former corn mill buildings, likely originating from the late 18th century or possibly earlier. The buildings are situated on sloping ground and constructed from rubble with whin slab lintels. The northern gables are coped, and the roofs are covered with grey slates, some of which have been replaced on the eastern side. Brick stacks are present.
The west elevation features a variety of openings, including a door to the right, a central door with a window to the left and above, and a left door flanked by two windows on the left and one on the right, with a gabled dormer window above. The north elevation has a window on the right at the first floor. The east elevation shows a lower range that is recessed to the left, with a loft door. The south elevation includes a window in the gablehead.
There is no remaining machinery from the mill. To the north, remnants of the lade system can be seen, including two small stone arched bridges that carry the road over the lade.
Inside, the southern section has been converted into a hall or schoolroom, lined with boarding in the late 19th century, while the northern section has been transformed into two cottages, with internal divisions and fireplaces still visible.
