Scope and Content Duntocher Mill, West Dunbartonshire This was one of four cotton mills in Duntocher and Faifley which were run as a unit by William Dunn of Duntocher from about 1808. This was the oldest, and was built in the late 18th century. After it closed in 1808 it was purchased by Dunn and re-opened. This shows the building from the east. Judging by what can be seen here it was originally three storeys high, and appears to have been the smallest of Dunn's mills. Dunn was a remarkable entrepreneur, and as well as his mills in the Duntocher area owned a machine-building workshop in John Street, Glasgow, on part of the site now occupied by the Graham Building of the University of Strathclyde. The Duntocher mill's remains were demolished in the mid-1960s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
