Development History
October 1998: External inspection reveals the mill to be disused. The steading is in need of repairs and sustained maintenance. August 2000: External inspection reveals no change.
January 2009: External inspection finds the east part of the steading range in use as byre/ store. The rest of the range remains derelict and appears unused. The water wheel/ aqueduct are understood to have been restored in part approx 20yrs ago by a local history group, but are now deteriorating. SCT understands the local community is keen to see the range brought back into full use.
13 June 2015: External inspection finds the building remains in much the same condition as seen previously. The South range remains in use as a byre, the remainder of the complex appears to remain disused.
