The Miller boat yard built Fifer fishing boats and many prospective of their prospective buyers were entertained to tea & scones in the kitchen of Ivybank as they studied the plans for their new boats. In the 20th Century the Miller family extended their business into building solid, seaworthy sailing yachts. Sir Malcolm Campbell commissioned his yacht, Blue Bird, with the Miller Yard. Sadly, the yard closed in 1992 and boatbuilding is now only a part of St Monan's history.
