Glenmac Mill, Round Close, Hawick

Former woollen mill at the confluence of the Slitrig Water and the river Teviot. Appears to have been phased construction. The building fronting onto Mill Port would seem to appear on the 1st edition OS (1:2,500) series, the building with the long elevation to Round Close would appear to be a later addition.
