Description

This is an earlier 19th century meal mill and kiln, built as a rectangular two-storey structure. It is constructed of rubble with tooled rubble dressings, and some areas are now harled. The south elevation has an irregular three-bay arrangement. A lean-to wheelhouse is attached to the south gable, containing a paddle wheel, and a lean-to rear extension is also present. The building is roofed with slate, and the kiln features a revolving ridge cowl. The interior is largely gutted, although some original machinery survives. The building is currently in poor condition. As noted by John Hume in The Industrial Archaeology of Scotland (1977, p. 181), this mill represents a significant industrial feature.

Local climate

Mill Of Newmill sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 970 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 76% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 51% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 19 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 81% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
