Scope and Content Duntrune Flour Mill (Dundee Flour Mills), East Dock Street, Dundee This large mill was built in 1876, probably as a steam-powered roller mill, designed to process hard wheat imported from North America, Central Europe or Australia. Roller milling replaced the traditional stone grinding of flour in the 1870s and 1880s. This shows the mill from the south-west. The tieplates on the side wall show that the building has had to be strengthened, possibly on account of subsidence, as the ground on which it is built is reclaimed land. The neat classical treatment of the frontage is typical of large flour mills of the period. It seems likely that this was in 1969 only a surviving part of the mills as designed, presumably the granary. In 1969 it was being used as a wool store by William C Scott & Co. It has since been demolished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
