Description

The Old Mill is an earlier or mid-19th century, three-storey, four-bay former mill, now converted into a dwellinghouse. The building is constructed of coursed rubble stone, with a dressed rubble wheel gable on the west side.

The south elevation features two modern projecting porches, four square windows, and a round-headed hoist loft with a stone slab sill. Above the hoist loft is a larger vent, and there are three smaller vents on the second floor. The north elevation has a first-floor entrance and four small, round vents located below the eaves of the second floor.

The roof is covered in slate. The site is steeply sloping to the rear (north), bringing the first floor almost level with the ground. The building is unusually large for the area around Achiltibuie. The mill wheel has been removed. John Hume’s The Industrial Archaeology of Scotland (volume 2, 1977, page 291) provides further information.
