Scope and Content Former water-powered corn mill, Broadford, Skye This was a good example of the small rectangular corn mills of the western highlands and islands. The kiln. roofless by 1976, appeared to be an addition. The wheel had gone, but was probably overshot. The building was in use as a store in 1976. This view shows the building from the north, with the roofless kiln on the left. Note the millstone propped up against it. The flat-arched cart entry is a characteristic feature of this type of mill. The small size of this mill reflects the limited arable farming potential of the surrounding area. The mill probably had a single pair of stones. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
