Archaeology Notes

NO01NE 43 06746 17738

For mill dam and pond (NO 0646 1695) supplying water to this steading, see NO01NE 90.

(Location cited as NO 067 177). Horse-gin house, Kildinny. A circular rubble structure with a slate roof.

J R Hume 1977.

The 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Perthshire, sheet cix, 1866) depicts a roofed and circular horse-engine house at Kildinny steading. It had evidently been removed by 1901, when it was omitted from the 2nd edition of the map (Perthshire, sheet cix.NE).

Information from RCAHMS (JRS), 12 January 1996.

Activities

Desk Based Assessment (7 May 2019)

Contrary to the 1996 report by RCAHMS (JRS), the horse-engine was not removed by 1901, the mistake arising because it was not specifically identified on the second edition of the OS 6-inch map, published that year. In fact, the horse engine survived at least as late as 1975-76, when it was photographed by Professor John Hume. It has since been removed.

Information from HES Survey and Recording (JRS) 7 May 2019.
