Scope and Content Mill pond, Kilchiaran Farm, Kilchiaran, Islay, Argyll & Bute The house and steading of Kilchiaran date from 1826 when a new farm with an Ayrshire tenant was established following the clearance of the old township of Kilchiaran. Its most distinctive feature is a semicircular inner cattle court about 58m in diameter. This is the mill pond from the north showing the threshing barn in the centre, and to the right, the rear elevation of the cart shed. The tailrace, which channelled the water from the mill pond to the waterwheel, ran beneath the steading to emerge on the south side of the semicircular courtyard. The farm is situated at the head of a narrow sheltered valley about 130m west-south-west of its associated farmhouse and 270m north-east of a medieval chapel. Islay has always been well known for its fertile land and supports a number of whisky distilleries. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
