Cairn's Mill, Fogo

Cairn's Mill consists of a group of buildings close to the Blackadder Water in the parish of Fogo, county of Berwickshire, Borders of Scotland. The presence of a mill at this site is indicated on a map from 1654, which covers the historic region within the Scottish Borders known as the Merse. All buildings within this settlement are registered as Category C listed buildings, which includes both the cottage and the steadings on the hillside and the mill down in the Blackadder Water valley, adjacent to the mill race. All these buildings were erected between the late 18th and mid 19th century, with some later additions. According to the oldest inhabitant's memories the mill was still in use in the late 1960s. The only access route is via a single-track road, which to the west leads to the village of Fogo, just over a mile away, and to the east roughly half a mile to Bogend Farm.
