Scope and Content Scotstoun Mills, Scotstoun Mill Road, Glasgow These mills are on the site of two medieval millsteads on the River Kelvin, Glasgow's largest and most reliable source of water power. Scotstoun Mills were developed from about 1847 by John White as flour mills. Originally grinding using millstones, the mills were adapted to roller milling in 1877. This shows the frontage of the mills to Scotstoun Mill Road, on the right, with a warehouse converted from a horse tram depot to the left. The frontage block of the mill was built in 1909 to designs by J W & J Laird, architects. A new roller mill was later added on the site of the single-storeyed blocks on the right. John White & Sons was eventually taken over by Spillers Ltd, who owned the mills in 1964. They in turn became part of Rank Hovis MacDougall, now Rank Hovis, who were still operating the mills in 2002. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
