(Location cited as NS 695 585). Blantyre Mills, founded 1785 by Henry Monteith, Bogle & Co. All that remains of the large mill complex here is the curved weir and the lade, together with the end 2 bays of the 3-storey and attic counting-house block. There are 2 ranges of housing, one 2 storey, the other 3, forming a memorial to David Livingstone, the African explorer and missionary. Among the exhibits in the memorial are an excellent model of the mills and a section of a fairly early self-acting mule.
