Scope and Content Troqueer Mills, Troqueer, Dumfriesshire This was a large tweed mill built for Walter Scott & Sons. The buildings were mainly single storey, of red or polychrome brick, with an elaborate Venetian Gothic frontage to the river Nith. This view shows the splendid Venetian Gothic river frontage. The upper srorey of the building is cosmetic, as behind the façade is a block of single-storey weaving sheds. In the late 19th century Dumfries was an important centre of tweed manufacture. These mills closed in the 1920s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
