Field Visit (16 March 2012)
This mill is situated immediately NE of the Old Bridge over the Burn of King Edward (NJ75NW 55). The mill building comprises two parallel plinths of stone, 0.6m in thickness and 1.4m apart, measuring 3.5m from NW to SE by 2.6m overall, and stands about 2m in height. These walls provided a base for a timber mill building and the sides of a wheel pit. The NE wall incorporates in its SE end a piece of dressed sandstone with quirked roll-moulding of 16th century date that may have been removed from the castle on the hill above (NJ75NW 1). One side of the circular frame of the mill wheel lies in the burn beside the building. The mill lade which leads up to it from the ENE, takes off from the burn c.240m away, where a sluice is marked on the OS map.
