Scope and Content Former water--powered corn mill, Achafolla, Luing, Argyll This was a small mill on an L-plan, with the kiln in the now-ruinous wing. The main range still contains two pairs of stones with their associated gearing, which were driven by an overshot wheel 0.84 by 4.87, the skeleton of which also survives. This view shows the interior of the mill, with the stones and gearing on their wooden frame. The stones have lost their casings. The iron rod above the platform drove the sack hoist. The mill was a cattle shed in 1976, and most of the woodwork had been removed from the interior, leaving the heavy timber frame supporting the millstones. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
