Mumrills Farm, Mumrills Road, Laurieston, Falkirk

Mumrills Farm is a substantial farm complex dating from the earlier and mid-19th century, with some later additions. The earlier 19th century work is possibly by architect David Hamilton. The farmhouse, listed separately, stands immediately to the west in separate occupation. The complex is dominated by a large, nine-bay rectangular-plan mill, grain store and cartshed building to the north, which features distinctive pointed-arched openings. An adjoining three-bay cattle court was added in the earlier 20th century to the south. The remainder comprises a U-shaped steading incorporating a byre, stable, bothy, an earlier cattle court and a smiddy adjoining to the south of the later cattle court.

The mill building displays coursed, tooled ashlar to its north and west elevations, with snecked, squared rubble to the west and south. Raised ashlar dressings, stone cills and raised strip quoins feature throughout. The other buildings are constructed of random rubble, re-pointed in places.

The mill and grain store's principal north elevation features a large, depressed-arched cartshed opening at the centre with a timber-boarded double door and raised, moulded ashlar surround. Flanking this at first-floor level are pointed-arched windows. Winnowing doors to the left and right sides have flanking pointed-arched windows at ground and first floor; some windows have later timber and glass infill. The east elevation is a three-bay gable end, largely obscured by a later corrugated iron agricultural shelter. A pointed-arched window lights the gable head, with pointed-arched windows to the left and right bays at ground and first floors, and plain, raised skews to the gable. The south (rear) elevation is mostly hidden by the later adjoining cattle court, but pointed-arched windows at ground and first floor are located within the cattle court, and a double doorway at the centre links the mill building to the cattle court. A round horse engine was formerly located to the outer left corner, with some wall damage remaining where the gearing once penetrated into the mill. The west gable-end elevation has a doorway to the ground floor right, with two pointed-arched windows to the left. A central winnowing door at first floor is flanked by large pointed-arched windows. Three narrow pointed-arched openings to the upper gable are arranged in a triangle: two off-centre, left and right, with one to the upper gable centre.

The interior was damaged by fire in the late 20th century and is now refitted with modern farming equipment. Some original timbers remain in the drying loft at the west end. The pointed-arched windows have splayed sides, and the walls have a limewashed rubble finish.

The cattle court's east elevation comprises three bays with triple gables. Large rectangular cart openings are set to the far left and far right respectively of the left and central gables, fitted with timber-boarded sliding doors hung from timber runners. The west elevation features a five-bay covered cart area set in front of the cattle court, with a continuous I-section steel beam spanning between the mill building to the north and the byre to the south, supported by four cast iron columns at regular intervals. A pitched roof links to the west cattle court wall, with roofs from the east elevation piended at right angles. Two large sliding cart doors on timber runners are positioned to the centre and far right of the west cattle court wall. The interior court is subdivided into stable accommodation with timber fencing, and some original cast iron columns support the main roof joists.

The U-plan steading accommodates a byre and stables to the north; stables and bothy to the east; and a smiddy and cattle court to the south. The north block's outer elevation is partly masked by the adjoining cattle court. A later 20th century cartshed opening with corrugated iron canopy stands to the left, with a timber-boarded sliding double door to the right. The courtyard elevation is largely plain, featuring round, evenly spaced terracotta vents to the upper wall and rectangular slit vents to the lower wall. A single doorway with flanking window is set to the far right, with a timber runner above indicating where a sliding door has been replaced by a modern stable door. The east block's outer elevation is plain, with a later brick lean-to shelter to the far right. The courtyard elevation shows a four-bay stable to the left and bothy to the far right, with a sliding timber door to the third stable bay and windows to the remaining bays. The bothy has a simple doorway with fanlight and a window to the left.

The south block comprises a square-plan smiddy set forward to the right with the cattle court to the left. Both have plain elevations, with a window opening to the left return of the smiddy. The cattle court's south wall has been rebuilt above mid-height. The courtyard elevation shows the smiddy set back to the left with a three-bay cattle court to the right. A doorway serves the smiddy, while a single doorway with flanking double doorways serve the cattle court; all openings are fitted with timber sliding doors hanging from a continuous timber runner. The west elevation displays the gable end of the north jamb to the left with a later cartshed door, and a plain end elevation of the south jamb to the right.
