Scope and Content Rosefield Mills, Troqueer, Dumfriesshire This was a large tweed mill built for Charteries Spence & Co, architect Alan Crombie. The buildings were mainly single storey, of red or polychrome brick. This view shows the river frontage of the mills, after adaptation to an industrial estate, with consequent loss of uniformity in the façade. The chimney and tower on the left were part of the Troqueer Mills. In the late 19th century Dumfries was an important centre of tweed manufacture. These mills closed in the 1920s.
