Scope and Content Chimney of paper mill, Currie, Midlothian This mill was founded as a handmade paper mill in the 18th century. The tall chimney was necessitated by the valley floor site of the mill. This view shows the unusual height of the chimney, and its ornamental top. A chimney of this height was a status symbol as well as a functional necessity to provide draught for the mill boilers. Paper mills used large volumes of steam to dry the paper during manufacture. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
