Details Site of an old wind-mill depicted on the 1st edition OS map. It was reported by Mr J. Graham Callander that in 1908, he saw a stone of the grindstone type lying at the spot marked 'Old Windmill' on the Ordnance Survey map, about 250 yards north-west of the farmsteading of Mains, Boyndlie, in the parish of Tyrie. The error on the map has doubtlessly arisen through the confusion of the word 'whin-mill' with 'wind mill' by a surveyor who was familiar with the latter only.
