Statement of Interest

Hume describes the mill block "with 2 pairs of stones driven by an 8-spoke wood and iron overshot wheel, 50in wide by 17ft diameter (1.27 by 5.18m). There are wrought-iron bracing spokes, alternately right and left hand." The 18th century rebuilding probably made use of stone form Claverhouse Castle.
