Scope and Content Waterwheel and sluice gate, Kilchiaran Farm, Kilchiaran, Islay, Argyll & Bute The house and steading of Kilchiaran date from 1826 when a new farm with an Ayrshire tenant was established following the clearance of the old township of Kilchiaran. Its most distinctive feature is a semicircular inner cattle court about 58m in diameter. This shows the waterwheel (left) and sluice gate (right) from the south-east. The wheel is a narrow, iron, low breastshot type with an internal rim drive. It measures 4.8m in diameter and its rim is just over 0.8m wide. It was made by P & R Fleming of Glasgow. The waterwheel was turned by water from the nearby mill pond which was channelled along a lade. The sluice gates controlled the flow of water to the wheel and to the side hatch.
