Sited prominently within the village of Craighouse, the Old Millhouse has made an economic, as well as a visual impact on the area. Its contribution to the industrial heritage of the southern part of Jura, coupled with the associated cultural importance to the settlement, were substantial until the war years. The power to grind corn, (it is identified on the 1st edition OS map as a corn mill), primarily came from the river
along which it stands, and some associated machinery remains inside.
