NO 1769 4621 (NO14NE 104) A historic building survey was undertaken, 1 February 2016, of a former jute mill on the W bank of the River Ericht in advance of its conversion to a house. It was constructed in c1830 and rebuilt in 1872, following a fire; it is believed to have been the first mill in Scotland to spin jute. At the time of the survey, the mill retained its original water wheel and external vertical drive shaft, the only known example in the country. This feature is to be preserved, along with original iron ceiling columns/loom supports. Most other fitments had been removed. Graffiti dating from 1898 were noted on an
internal elevation.
