Old photograph of the Mill of Beith in North Ayrshire, Scotland. The water mill of the Barony of Hill of Beith stood on the Muir or Roebank Burn at Mill of Beith where there is a linn or waterfall, called the Warlock Linn or Warlock Craigie. The present day Mill of Beith dates from the late 18th to early 19th century, being a small rectangular rubble built building with an offset square kiln. The lower part of the wheel splash wall is faced with ashlar. The wheel was mid breast, about 3 feet wide by 16 feet in diameter, and was fed from a dam on the burn which ran through a lade under the road running to the mill.
