Munlochy Mill

Graham Douglas notes that the mill machinery was installed in the early 1940s by James Reid of Dingwall. It has been out of use as a meal mill since the 1960s. The grain bruiser was in use at the time of survey and was powered by an electric motor. Munlochy Mill is depicted and named on the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map (Ross-shire, 1873, sheet lxxxix).
Information from Graham J Douglas, Scottish Industrial Archaeology Survey, Strathclyde University, 1986.

See NMRS MS/744/141 and DC 33181-5 for building and machinery details.

The mill is dpeicted on the 1st edition of the 25-inch OS map (Inverness-shire, 1880, sheet c) and annotated 'corn mill' By the date of the 2nd edition (1906) the annotation is 'corn mill' with a 'saw mill adjacent. The maps also depict a mill dam and mill lead.
