Scope and Content Cupar Mills, Millgate, Cupar, Fife This was a large early to mid-19th-century burgh watermill serving Cupar, the county town of Fife and centre of an area of cereal farming. In its day the complex would have included flour, oatmeal and provender mills, and perhaps a pearl barley machine. This shows what appears to have been a milling range, with a corn-drying kiln to the left of the four-storeyed range. Beyond the kiln are modern silos for storing grain. Much of this complex was still in use for animal feeding-stuff manufacture in 1967, in the ownership of Hamlyns, but one block had already been converted into flats. By the 1990s most of the buildings had been demolished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
