Scope and Content Mill, Caldercruix, North Lanarkshire This shows part of the red and white brick buildings, probably built in the 1860s, which formed the bulk of the complex. The round-headed windows are typical of the early use of red and white brick for industrial buildings. This firm specialised in cover papers for books, some of which were embossed to give a woven finish, and blotting papers. By 1971, with the substitution of ball-point pens for wet-ink pens the demand for blotting papers had almost disappeared. These mills were founded in 1848 by T R & G Craig, who also owned the large Moffat Mills, south of Airdrie. In 1971 they were owned by Robert Craig & Co. The Caldercruix mills had at one stage four paper-making machines, of which two were in operation when papermaking ended on 7 June 1971. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
