Scope and Content Barry Mill, Angus, from south-west Barry Mill dates from the late 18th century, and consists of a three-storeyed rubble main building with waterwheel and semicircular drying kiln attached. The mill was rebuilt in 1814 after a fire, and produced oatmeal commercially until the lade was damaged in 1982. It is now owned by The National Trust for Scotland, and is restored to working condition for milling demonstrations. This shows the rubble-built mill with its waterwheel under the small outshot on the left, and its drying kiln in the curved extension to the right. The door at first-floor level (centre) would be used for loading sacks of meal onto carts. The miller has always been a vital part of community life, and thus enjoyed many privileges. Farmers would bring grain and oats for milling from which the miller took his 'multure', a percentage of the grain as payment. Working watermills are now a rarity in Scotland, as most modern milling is now done in large automated roller mills (which are not powered by water). Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
