Scope and Content Folkerton Mill, Lanarkshire, from the north west Folkerton Mill was a water-powered oatmeal and animal feeding-stuffs mill, typical of many in Scotland, but better-preserved than most. It was powered by water from the Poniel Water. This view shows the granary on the left, with the kiln behind, marked by its louvered ventilator. The mill proper is on the right, with the waterwheel in front of it. This was originally an estate mill to which the tenant farmers would have been obliged to take their grain for milling, paying the miller a share of the meal - multures - for his work.
