Scope and Content Threshing mill, Scourie, Highland This water-powered threshing mill was part of a large improved steading. It was a two-storey building built into a hillside so that it could be entered at first-floor level from one end. It had been powered by a high-breast waterwheel, removed by 1976. This view shows the mill from the upstream side. The site of the waterwheel is shown by the dark patch on the wall with the holes for the axle of the wheel and for the gear drive from the top of the wheel. The threshing machine was still in situ. The steading was quite elaborately designed, with crowstepped gables, and a near-symmetrical byre and stable block. It was probably the most elaborate complex of its kind in north west Scotland.
