Scope and Content Cottages and lade, Deanston Cotton Mill, near Doune, Perthshire (Perth and Kinross council area) This mill was established in 1785 by a partnership led by Benjamin Flounders, a Yorkshireman, to spin cotton using Arkwright machinery. It was much expanded in the 1820s by James Finlay and Co, and made cotton goods until 1964-5. This view shows the lade, from a weir on the river Teith, which supplied water to the mills for power, with rows of tenemented workers' houses on the left. This was the largest, but not the longest, mill lade in Scotland. The complex was powered by four large waterwheels until 1947, when the mill was electrified, using the water from the lade to generate hydro-electricity. In 1965 part of the spinning mill was converted into a whisky distillery. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
