Description
Livingston Mill Farm comprises a group of buildings including a farmhouse, steading, corn mill, threshing mill, butter-making house, and ancillary buildings, dating to the 18th and 19th centuries. The structures are built of random rubble.
The farmhouse is two storeys high with a slated roof, and features a modern addition to the front. The steading is a single storey building with a pantiled roof, and incorporates a creamery attached to its south end.
The corn mill, the group’s primary point of interest, is a three-storey structure with a slated roof. A kiln is located at the north end with a roof vent. A high-breast undershot water wheel is housed within a wheel-house at the south end, powered by a lade originating from the River Almond. All the original grinding machinery is preserved. The corn mill was constructed around 1770 and ceased operation around 1950, but remains in good condition.
The threshing mill is two storeys high with a pantiled roof and was powered by a water wheel located at the corn mill. A granary sits at the east end. The butter-making house is a single-storey building over a lower level, also with a pantiled roof. A churn within the butter-making house was driven by water power.
