Milton of Dalcapon, Perth and Kinross, Historic Building Recording

The project followed Basic Historic Building Recording as outlined in Historic Building Recording Guidance for Curators, Consultants and Contractors (ALGAO: Scotland 2013). This level of recording requires: " A general description of the structure(s); " Photographs; " An annotated ground plan; and " A narrative placing the structure in its geographical, architectural and historical context. Historical evidence indicates that during the 19th century the building was a lint mill although towards the end of the century it was converted to a wool mill before ceasing production in the 1890s. The mill house continued to be occupied until abandoned in the 1950s. Stylistically, the house probably dated from the late-18th or early-19th century. What is presumed to have been the former mill building, appended to the western end of the house, has been demolished to floor level. To the north of the mill building was a wheel pit, fed by a raised stone millrace and drained by a culvert running beneath the mill. Cartographic evidence shows that the wheel pit was constructed sometime between 1862 and 1899 and suggests extensive modification of the mill presumably when it was converted to woollen production.
