Tangy Mill

(disused) [NAT]

OS (GIS) MasterMap, July 2010..

This mill stands on the N bank of the Tangy Burn about 3km NW of Kilchenzie. The existing structure appears to have been erected in about the first quarter of the 19th century, but probably replaces an earlier mill. Part of the building contains a kiln. The mill, with its overshot wheel still in place, is disused and dilapidated.

RCAHMS 1971.

(Location cited as NR 662 277). Early 19th century.

Now disused and decaying; the former conical kiln vent has disintegrated.
