Description

East Grange is a mid-19th century and later cornmill, likely built upon an earlier core. The building is long and rectangular, situated on a sloping site with long east and west elevations. A ramp provides access at the south gable. The exterior is constructed of harled rubble with tooled rubble dressings. An overshot millwheel is located at the east elevation, fed by a raised lade. The west elevation contains several doorways and windows, and there is a small single-storey lean-to extension. A tall octagonal kiln vent is situated on the roof, which is covered in slate.

Inside, the mill machinery is complete and in reasonable working order, including two sets of millstones, one pair dating from approximately 1898. A mill is recorded at East Grange on a map drawn around 1590 by Reverend Timothy Pont, and it is believed there may have been an even earlier mill serving the medieval Cistercian Abbey at Kinloss, as East Grange was then part of the abbey lands. The present building may incorporate fabric from the mill known to have been standing in 1746. East Grange mill ceased full-time operation in 1975-6 due to the retirement of the miller but continues to be used for bruising cattle feed as part of a farm.
