Scope and Content Cartside Mills, Milliken Park, Renfrewshire (Renfrewshire council area) Cartside Mill was built for cotton spinning in 1793, and was one of the finest mills of its time. It was one of the earliest in Scotland built to house mules. In the late 19th century it was taken over by Smith and Maclaurin, paper converters. This view shows the mill from the south east, surrounded by later buildings, including a late Victorian office block. Note the water tower built on to the top of the east stair tower. This supplied water to a sprinkler system for fire control. Smith and Maclaurin's business involved buying paper from mills and coating it with a wide variety of materials to make it suitable for printing and other purposes The 1793 mill was demolished in the early 1990s.
