Scope and Content Sawmill, Keir Home Farm, near Dunblane, Perthshire This sawmill is part of an elaborate group of steading buildings built as a model farm for the Keir estate. The buildings are of coursed rubble, with bull-nosed ashlar dressings of a light-coloured sandstone. all in a mannered style. This view shows the sawmill, with later corrugated-iron-clad extension to the right. The mill was originally steam-powered. Note the unique boiler-house chimney, which is square in section, set diagonally on a rectangular base. The top of the chimney has been treated so that the whole structure looks like an obelisk, with triangular openings for the smoke to escape. The obelisk illusion is, however spoiled by the rustication of the quoins. The whole thing is very odd. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
