Scope and Content Hapland Mill, No 31 Stewarton Road, Dunlop, East Ayrshire This small woollen mill was probably founded in the mid-19th century or earlier. There was a wool carder in Dunlop in 1825, so the origin of this mill may have been a carding mill, making carded wool for home-spinning and weaving. This shows the mill from the west, photographed from a railway train. In 1966 the mill was used for spinning woollen yarn for Blackwood Morton & Sons Ltd, carpet manufacturers in Kilmarnock. This mill appears to have been rebuilt in the late 19th century, very probably to spin woollen yarn for carpet weaving, as the Kilmarnock carpet industry was an important one. Many small rural woollen mills succumbed in the late 19th century to competition from Yorkshire or Borders makers. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
