Scope and Content Former horizontal corn mill, Clashnessie, Highland This was a horizontal corn mill, rubble-built, and probably originally thatched. The walls were reasonably intact, and there were three millstones still in the building. This view shows the mill from the downstream side. Note that there are two types of rubble construction, suggesting that the building had been partly rebuilt at some time. Mills of this type were rare in mainland Scotland, but common in Shetland and on Lewis. The small horizontal wheel drove the top stone of the mill directly. Each mill could produce enough meal for a few families. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
