Description

Duncanhaugh Mill is a late 18th century flour and corn mill, designed in an L-plan and situated on a steeply sloping site. The building is constructed of rubble sandstone with droved ashlar dressings.

On the southeast elevation, there is a single-storey piend-roofed range to the right, which shows evidence of raised walls, and a two-storey range to the left. This elevation features three openings, including a doorway at ground level and a single opening at the first floor.

The northeast elevation consists of a long two-storey range with a short advanced single-storey range attached to the outer left. It has a basket-arched cart arch to the right of the re-entrant angle, with a window at the first floor above it. There is a forestair and doorway to the outer right, along with a loft opening to the left of the re-entrant angle.

On the southwest elevation, there is a large opening that has been broken through to the outer right. The roofs are covered with grey slate and are piended, although they are badly decayed in places.

Inside, the mill features timber columns, floors, and roof structure, with some timber machinery still in place, including a millstone.
