Scope and Content Deanston Mills, Stirling This village was founded in 1785 by the Buchanan family to spin cotton by water-power, using Richard Arkwright's package of processes. The mills were eventually taken over in 1808 by James Finlay & Co, who continued cotton manufacture there until 1965. This shows the mill built in about 1828 from the south-west. The contemporary waterwheel house with its glazed roof is in front of the mill. To the left is part of the mechanics' shop, where the mill machinery was made and repaired. After the end of cotton manufacture in 1965 the semi-basement and first floor of the mill were converted into a malt whisky distillery, as Deanston Distillery. This has passed through various hands, and is still operating. The housing is now in individual ownership. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
