Preston Mill

I had a lovely morning visiting Preston Mill, a National Trust for Scotland property. While there, I decided to rejoin as it seems a good deal, and may encourage me to go a see many of their properties around Scotland. 

There has been a mill on the site since the 16th century. The present mill dates from the 18th century and was used commercially until 1959, and it produced oatmeal. The River Tyne still drives the water wheel and the machinery can still be seen at work by visitors taking part in a tour. There is also an exhibition about milling, and a mill pond.

It’s such a pretty place, especially, when it’s a bright summers day.

I hope you have enjoyed Thursday.
