Scope and Content Chimney for steam engine, Samuelston Farm, East Lothian Because water-power sites were scarce and coal was readily available, many East Lothian farms had steam engines to drive their threshing mills. Engines and boilers have now gone, but the chimneys and related buildings sometimes survive. This view shows a typical square-section chimney. The building to the left with the piend roof is the engine and boiler house, with the former threshing barnto the left. Fixed engines and boilers were expensive to run, and in the later 19th century were supplanted by portable engines or traction engines driving portable threshing machines.
