Description
High Mill is a tower mill dating to 1797, located on Chapel Street, Carluke. It is the most complete windmill in Scotland. The original structure is a tapering three-story circular tower built of rubble. The upper sails and top sections are now missing. Attached to the tower is a two-story range constructed in the mid-19th century, also of squared rubble. This range housed a former threshing mill in its eastern portion, and a brick-lined kiln and loft in the west, with machinery located below the loft. To the northeast stands a square brick chimney accompanied by a boiler house and outbuildings, some of which are now in ruins.
The tower mill retains some of its original mill works, including shutes, hoppers, and millstones. Machinery within the lower levels includes a condenser from a steam engine manufactured by Easton and Anderson of London, along with most of a Tangye gas engine. In 1982, the interior workings of the tower were found to be in a state of collapse. The mill was initially powered by wind for approximately 50 years before being converted to steam, remaining in operation until the 1930s.
