Scope and Content Trenabie Mills, Pierowall, Westray, Orkney There are two water-powered corn mills on this site, both rubble-built, on rectangular plans. The older mill is two-storey, and was driven by a low-breast paddle wheel, 1.09 by 3.66m. The newer is three-storey; its wheel and machinery had been removed. This view shows the mills from the east, with the older mill in front, with its wheel on the left gable, and the 1880s mill behind, with its prominent louvred kiln ventilator. Both mills were effectively derelict in 1976, but have since been adaptively reused, apparently in an imaginative way. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
