Scope and Content Meikle Millbank Mill, Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire This complete example of a small, late 18th/early 19th century rural corn mill was T-shaped, with the kiln in the projecting wing. It had two pairs of millstones which were driven by an internal overshot waterwheel, measuring 1.06m by 5.79m. This shows the mill from the south-west, with the kiln on the right The wheel was inside the left-hand gable. Note the condition of the roof, indicating that the mill had been disused for many years. The kiln had a roof-ridge ventilator. It seems likely that the kiln in this mill was an addition, in which case the main mill building may have been older than most of the west central Scottish mills surviving in the 1960s. Since the 1960s the mill has become totally ruinous. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
