Scope and Content View of Barry Mill, Angus, from north-west Barry Mill dates from the late 18th century, and consists of a three-storeyed rubble main building with waterwheel and semicircular drying kiln attached. The mill was rebuilt in 1814 after a fire, and produced oatmeal commercially until the lade was damaged in 1982. It is now owned by The National Trust for Scotland, and is restored to working condition for milling demonstrations. This shows the mill with its kiln on the left. Unusually for a mill kiln it is circular; it contains a firebox which heats a pierced floor on which grain is spread for drying. The kiln has a ventilator on its roof of local slates. The mill is set into a sloping site to accommodate the waterwheel at the rear. Barry Mill was the last working watermill in Angus, and produced oatmeal, once a staple food in Scotland. Due to hygiene regulations the mill now produces meal for use as animal food only. Most oatmeal is now produced in large commercial mills, leaving very few watermills in operation. Most of these supplement their income by allowing visitors to view the workings of the mill. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
