Description

Plash Mill, located on Glamis Road in Kinghorn, is a workshop built in the late 18th to early 19th century. It is a two-storey building with a part-basement and a rectangular plan, situated on a steeply sloping site to the northeast. The structure is constructed of random rubble with squared rubble quoins and first-floor margins, featuring timber lintels at the ground level and brick margins at the basement. There are timber-clad extensions to the northeast and northwest.

The southeast elevation, which is the principal facade, has a central bay with steps leading up to a broad doorway that features a two-leaf part-glazed timber door. Flanking this doorway are windows, along with an additional horizontal basement window on the outer right. At the first floor, there are two small windows positioned close to the eaves, and four small traditional rooflights.

On the northeast elevation, there is a projecting timber-clad bay at the ground floor above a brick basement, which includes a door and an adjacent window to the right, with another window above. Further windows are located on the canted return to the left, and there is an additional projecting pantiled lean-to range on the outer right. A small window is positioned off-centre to the right in the gablehead.

The northwest elevation features a timber lean-to range at the ground floor, supported by timber bracing at the outer right angle over what may be a mill lade. There are two small windows close to the eaves at the first floor and a small traditional rooflight located off-centre to the left.

The southwest elevation has a corrugated-iron roof and a boarded timber wall on the northwest side of an ancillary building that projects at ground level over the wheel-pit. There is a small window off-centre to the left in the gablehead.

The building features small-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case and fixed windows, with vertical astragals in the basement and the timber-clad northeast bay. The roofing materials include slate, pantiles, and corrugated iron, with coped rubble stacks topped with thackstanes and ashlar-coped skews.

Surrounding the property are semicircular-coped rubble boundary walls.
