Old Mill, Gartness.
The old mill, now ruinous and overgrown, stands on the right bank of the Endrick Water, 300 yds. SSE. of Gartness Bridge. Though a mill has functioned here since 1739 (1), the existing ruin almost certainly belongs to the late 18th or early 19th century. A re-used window-lintel with a wide chamfer, and the stone bearing the date 1574 that appears in the S. gable of the adjoining store-house, probably came from Gartness Castle (No. 220 [NS58NW 1]).
