The mill buildings were demolished 2007 and the site is now cleared in preparation for a housing estate..
The mills were the last paper mill in Midlothian. It was opened in 1837 and closed in 2004.
Depicted on the various editions of the OS 25-inch maps (Edinburghshire/Midlothian).
Information from RCAHMS (DE), April 2010
Standing Building Recording (August 2006 - February 2007)
NT 2529 6160 A programme of historic building recording and an archaeological evaluation were undertaken between August 2006 and February 2007 on the site of Dalmore Paper Mill in Auchendinny, prior to its demolition. The exercise revealed the earliest early 19th-century phases of the paper mill, together with
early 20th-century additions to the mill. Investigations beneath the modern car park also exposed a possible 17th- to 18th-century mill building up to 5m in depth surviving.
