Note (25 April 2013)
c.1820, straddles the Tod Burn as it exits from the Meadows towards the sea, so may have had a small wheel. A steam engine is shown in the 1856 O.S. Map. An 8-storey building rises from the Castle rock. The Town of Dundee had its own flour mills at Mill o' Mains on the Dighty, a more reliable water power source. From 1887 was the Castlehill Boot Factory, (300 employees of Owler and Co) and later was a seed and tea warehouse.
