Old Travel Blog Photograph Dalgarven Mill Scotland

Old travel Blog photograph of Dalgarven Mill by Kilwinning in North Ayrshire, Scotland. There has been a mill at Dalgarven since at least 1203, when the monks of Kilwinning Abbey established the Waulk Mill on this spot. In 1614 a new mill was built nearby, and 8 years later the Blair family of Blair purchased both mills. The Blairs owned the property for exactly 300 years until it was sold to the Ferguson family. But before the Ferguson's came along the original grain mill was badly damaged in a fire in 1869. The last working miller was John Ferguson, who retired in 1969.
