Scope and Content Rosefield Mills, Troqueer, Kirkcudbrightshire This was a large tweed mill built for Charteries Spence & Co, architect Alan Crombie. The buildings were mainly single storey, of red or polychrome brick. This view shows the office block, designed in a vaguely French style. The elaboration of the design is typical of the period, but here may have been partly the result of commercial rivalry with the adjacent Troqueer Mills. In the late 19th century Dumfries was an important centre of tweed manufacture. These mills closed in the 1920s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
