Scope and Content Canmore records a possible corn kiln identified at Cnoc a'mhuilinn, Strath Sgitheach during a walk-over survey in 1989, perhaps from Pastmap APs more plausibly at NH 51647 62190. A lade was also recorded and with the place name suggested this might have been the location for a mill. However the HC HER identifies the mill and lade as lying at NH 51560 62102, based on vertical AP evidence, as part of the Getmapping project. However this photograph suggests the original reference is correct, though whether the channel skirting the knoll is a constructed or natural channel is less certain, as there is no obvious entry for this 'lade'. The circular structure visible in this photo may still be a possible corn-drying kiln (or grouse butt?) as previously identified in 1989. There is also another possible oval structure visible at c. NH 51699 62286. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
