Scope and Content Mill of Aden, Aberdeenshire This was a remarkable survival in the 1970s.a water-powered textile mill. Founded in 1789 as a flax mill, it was rebuilt as a woollen mill in 1868, with four mules, carding machinery, and looms, driven by a low-breast waterwheel 1.95 by 4.87m. This view shows the mill from the south west. The waterwheel is at the base of the gable on the right. This mill was operated in association with a woollen mill in Peterhead. Until the 1960s the owners also ran a waulk mill at Quartalehouse to finish cloth made at Mill of Aden. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
