The Tweed Mill, at the north-west corner of the Bridge of Dochart, Killin, which used to be a meal mill, stands on the traditional site occupied by a succession of meal mills, the earliest of which is said to have been erected by St Fillan...The present occupier maintains the ancient custom of ceasing operations on the saint's festival day, the 9th of January (Old Style).
W Gillies 1938.
Hume refers to this as Millmore Mill, c.1840 and notes that there are the much decayed remains of a low/mid-breast waterwheel.
