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 interior of the mill, with three or possibly four millstones. The one in the centre is in its original position, and is a top stone, with the rynd which was at the top of the wheel spindle still in position underneath it. 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.
