Hyndford Mills

Disused derelict water mill site owned by Mr Jim Orr, Charleston Parks Farm, Lanark. Clydesdale Mills Society formed to explore the history of the site by the study of archive records and excavation.

OS maps indicate the site was disused in 1986 but prior to that there was substantial industrial activity using water wheels to power grain mills, lint milling and grinding of bones to produce fertilister. There was also sidelines - arving bone and antler to make knife handles, crushing of flax (lint) seed to produce linseed oil along with a blacksmith's shop.

Members of the Clydesdale Mills Society on site to explain.

Open air site therefore weather protection and suitable footwear may be necessary.
