Standing Building Recording (April 2007 - June 2007)
NS 8014 8999 This recording project was requested by Stirlingshire Council to record the building before alteration and inform the nature of the alteration. The project was undertaken between April and June 2007 and included metric and photographic survey (including the internal machinery) of the building, limited desk-based research and a written description.
The current Milton Mill is early 19th-century in date, though elements of the building are certainly earlier. The mill includes a two-bay three-storey building formerly housing a kiln, the three millstones and main gearing and a two-storey threshing mill which housed the water-wheel and a powered thresher. It retains much of the internal workings of the grain mill, though the threshing machinery and the kilns have been removed. The building is a very rare and important survival from Scotland’s rural past.
