<p>The fully restored water wheel is Philiphaugh is one of the largest working examples of its kind in Scotland.� It was originially�built around 1850�and powered the sawmill here for more than 100 years.� Water was diverted from the river into the mill lade which, at one time stretched all the way to Selkirk.� In the late 19th Century more than 50 mills drew energy from the Ettrick Water.��</p><p>Although its power is not similarly utilised today, the waterwheel is still operational and can be seen moving the water most days at Philiphaugh.�</p>
