Contrary to the conjecture previous published descriptions of Myrehead windmill, there is no uncertainty as to its age. It was built for Andrew Robertson, in 1814. The Myrehead steading was built for him in 1798 and he later added the windmill and an adjacent barn. Proof is contained in letters from Andrew Robertson to landowner William Forbes of 18 April 1814, 18 August 1814, and 28 November 1814. The letters are catalogued as A727.1046/18, A727.1046/34 and A727.1046/46 in the archive of Forbes' papers held by the Falkirk Community Trust.
