Scope and Content Cree Mills, Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire This was a small woollen mill, making tweeds and other woven fabrics. It consisted of a range of single-storey weaving sheds, with ancillary buildings. It was the last representative of a local industry established since the 18th century. This view shows the location of the mills, which were beside the river Cree on what was probably originally a water-power site. The mills have since closed, and the buildings have been demolished.
