Heritage listing
Category B Date Added 20/07/1972 Supplementary Information Updated 20/05/2022 Local Authority Dumfries And Galloway Planning Authority Dumfries And Galloway Parish Stoneykirk NGR NX 09458 52187 Coordinates 209458, 552187 — Late 18th century. Remains of tapering tower to circular-plan windmill. Rubble. 12ft height, internal diameter of 8ft, on walls 2ft thick. Single entrance 5ft by 3ft to SW. Wooden upper part, with sails, now gone. INTERIOR: no remaining machinery. — Donnachie suggests that the remains are the base of a turret post mill, although also suggests the possibility of an 'amateur' windmill built by a local farmer. Douglas et al suggests it more likely that it was a wind-driven scotch mill for flax (Douglas et al, p35).
