Site of a mill, built in 1788. The flax spinning mill was re-roofed and internally rebuilt in 1872 as a flour mill for Robert Young, millwright and machine maker, Glasgow, by Thomas Kerr of Grange. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a flour mill with the south-west end adjacent to a mill lade, and a disused flax spinning mill to the south. The site is named 'Milton'. There are workers' cottages and various associated buildings and enclosures to the south-east. The mill lade leads from the north (see NO43SE0082). On the 2nd edition OS map the flour mill is no longer depicted as such, and the section adjacent to the mill lade has been removed. The building shown earlier as a disused flax spinning mill to the south, later Robert Young's four mill, has been extended to the west and is now depicted as a Floorcloth Mill. Some of the buildings to the south-east have been removed, and others altered. Current maps show the buildings have removed and replaced by residential buildings, some of which are built on the footprint of the earlier buildings. The former flax spinning mill to the south is B-listed. It was a long, two-storey, random rubble-built building with ashlar dressings. The main facade was on the west elevation, which was 14-bay with a set-back engine and boiler-house to the north, and a square-section rubble-built chimney stack. There was a lintel dated 1788 on the east elevation, which also featured a central pyramidal-roofed bay. The door on the north elevation had a shallow timber pediment.
