Scope and Content Tower of windmill, Dunbarney, Perthshire This is the remains of a windmill of the 17th century 'vaulted-tower' type, the tower of which was probably rebuilt in the late 18th century. The segmental-arched vault which gave access to the mill from below has been cut back. This view shows the tower from the south east, with the present face of the vault. The original tower was probably smaller in diameter, and with a less-marked taper. The tower seen here is at its full height, with the cap track filled with concrete. This was one of a group of grain-grinding windmills of very similar designs built in many parts of Scotland in the late 17th century. The vault gave access to the mill when the sails were turning, and its top served as a platform for setting the sails. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
