Scope and Content Barry Mill and lade, Angus, from 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 lade directing water from the burn to the waterwheel under the extension on the right. The overshot waterwheel (turned by water hitting the top of the wheel) is 0.96m wide and 4.77m in diameter, and is built from wood and iron. The mill is built of masonry and has both slated and corrugated iron roofs. 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.
