(Location cited as HY 319 125). Tormiston Mill, early to mid 19th century. A handsome three-storey rectangular range with a twin-vented kiln. The two pairs of stones were driven by an 8-spoke iron overshot wheel, 4ft (1.22m) wide by 14ft (4.27m) diameter. Now a craft shop and restaurant, with the wheel and machinery preserved. The lade is, unusually, carried on a beautifully-built stone aqueduct.
