Scope and Content Bello Mill, Lugar, Ayrshire Bello Mill was a small water-powered corn mill, set into the valley of the Lugar Water. It had a low-breast paddle wheel, about 0.9 by 3.05m, driving a single pair of stones and an oat bruiser. This view shows the oat bruiser, with belt drive coming from the floor below, where there was an electric motor. Bello Mill is associated with William Murdoch or Murdock, employee of Boulton & Watt and father of gas lighting, who was born in the mill cottage. According to legend he experimented with gas lighting in a cave close to the mill. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
