Passed down through many generations of the Houston family, it was still in use fifty years after all other Caithness Mills. It finally stopped milling in 2001 on the sudden death of the last miller.</p><p>Still completely intact it’s a time capsule, exactly as it was over a hundred years ago.</p><p>On the buildings at risk register, the John O Groats Mill Trust aim to secure the Mill’s future and restore it to its former prominence in the community. The proprietor has kindly agreed to the Trust opening the Mill for the weekend. This may well be the last opportunity to see the Mill prior to any restoration work.</p> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1750 rebuilt 1901
