The south steading at Scalan dates from the early twentieth century, and comprises a rectangular farmsteading which includes a mill at the south-east end.
The mill wheel still remains in place, as does the timber lade along which the water was channelled. In this particular instance, the wheel was an undershot wheel, which meant that the water struck the wheel close to its base.
