Scope and Content Sevenacres Mill, North Ayrshire This was one of the best-preserved corn mills in north Ayrshire in the 1960s, though it had lost its machinery. It was part of farm steading, most of the buildings being brick-built, and therefore probably of late 19th-century date. This shows the wheel gable of the original masonry building, which was on an L-plan. The waterwheel is of the high-breast type, measuring about 3.66m by 0.9m. The buildings to right and left of the gable are part of the late 19th-century additions. The mill was still in existence in the mid-1970s, though the wooden buckets of the waterwheel had by then rotted away. The original building was probably built in the early 19th century, but may well have replaced an earlier structure. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
