Probably of 1720 with 19th century wheel and modifications. Re-used 18th century marriage lintel to south (wheel) gable window. Coursed rubble, ashlar wheel gable. Skeleton of 4 spoke wood and iron high- breast or backshot wheel. Corrugated iron roof. Chamfered gable window jambs all appear re-used. Lintel dated 1720 with initials MML MMR. (Historic Scotland)
Ceased use around 1900, the dated lintel records the marriage of Malcolm Macleod and Mary Mackenzie of Applecross in 1713. The date 1720 probably coincides with the building of the "new" Raasay House. ( M.Miers)
The mill-pond, now dry, was fed by a lade which is still (1961) traceable, The mill was used for meal, but later became a timber mill and was last in use as a byre. ( Highland Council HER)
