Scope and Content Quendale Mill, Quendale Farm, Shetland This is one of a handful of conventional vertical water mills in Shetland. It is embodied in a farm steading, and is a T-plan structure, with a kiln at one end and a granary at the other. The waterwheel is overshot, 0.91 by 4.27m. This view shows the waterwheel, with the wooden launder supplying water to it. The wheel is a typical late 19th century example, with a cast iron frame and wooden buckets. The mill was apparently in workable condition in 1976, and is now open to visitors. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
