Scope and Content High Mill, Chapel Street, Carluke, South Lanarkshire This shows the mill from the south-east. The top of the tower can just be seen on the left. Later, steam power was substituted for wind. The boiler house chimney is on the right, and the steam engine house was probably in the centre. The exact layout is unclear. This mill was adapted to be driven by a gas engine in the late 19th century. It appears to have operated until after World War II, and was used as a store until the 1970s. It was the taken over by a local history group who did some clearance and repairs, but its future is still uncertain. This tower windmill was built in 1797, in a period when iron gearing was transforming the performance of both wind and water mills in Scotland, and when improved sail design was making windmills more powerful. This was one of a group of large Scottish mills built to use these new technologies. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
