Scope and Content Threshing mill, Southwick Home Farm, Kirkcudbrightshire This was the home farm for Southwick House, and was laid out on a generous scale. The threshing mill was housed in a barn built of massive granite rubble, and was water-driven, latterly by a suspended low-breast wheel with rim drive. This view shows the suspended wheel, about 1.37 by 4.57m, with rim drive to the gear wheel on the left. The slot in the masonry above the wheel shows where an earlier drive to the threshing machine was situated. The wheel is likely to have been a late 19th or early 20th century replacement of a less sophisticated design. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
