(Location cited as NK 125 442). Windmill, Glenugie Distillery. Late 18th to early 19th century. The well-preserved tower of a slender tower windmill, probably used for pumping water. Disused at least since late 1880's. Preserved by the proprietors of the nearby distillery (NK14SW 69).

The shell of this stone-built windmill tower is situated in an industrial yard. It apparently stands to its full height, but all the openings have been bricked up and there is no access to the interior. The surroundings of the windmill have changed dramatically from those depicted on the 1983 edition of the OS 1:10,000 map.

Visited by RCAHMS (SH), 14 May 1993.
