The mill is known to have existed from 1796 and was built as part of an “improvement” by David Urquhart, then owner of Braelangwell Estate
The mill has been used for different purposes during the last 210 years: as a corn and barley mill, a saw mill, wool carding mill, and possibly snuff before being converted into domestic apartments in 1992 from what was then farm storage buildings. Further modifications took place in 1997 when the kiln was similarly renovated.
