Scope and Content Coldstream Mill, North Ayrshire This early 19th-century mill was still working intermittently in 1965, using a large overshot waterwheel, measuring about 1m by 6.1m, to supply power. It was the last water-powered corn mill of the traditional type to operate in north Ayrshire. This shows the mill from the south-east, with the milling range to the right of the wheel. Its small size is evident. The water to power the mill comes from a dam to the right, and the lade runs under the granary to reach the wheel. The mill was still in usable condition in the mid-1970s. As far as the writer knows the mill was still using grindstones, unlike some other watermills which were using more modern equipment such as hammer mills. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
