Air Shaft [NAT]
OS 1:10,000 map, 1992.
This brick-built air-shaft was built c.1910-12 as part of a programme of engineering works intended to provide Tillycorthie Mansion (NJ92SW 114.00) with a private supply of electricity. The shaft vented an underground pipe which supplied water from a large ornamental lake to a waterwheel or turbine, now removed, but originally housed in Lakeside House (NJ 9060 2332), now a private residence. When the scheme failed to work effectively an oil combustion engine was imported from Sweden to drive several dynamos, which were housed also in Lakeside House.
Visited by RCAHMS (ATW, JRS), 29 January 1997.
