Barry Mill 2025
The mill is now one of only a handful of mills still powered by water in Scotland. Rebuilt after a fire around 1814, it is probably the largest and finest example of its type still in operation. Set in a secluded area beside the Barry Burn.

Step inside the mill and discover how engineering ingenuity provided a means to save the ‘daily grind’ of producing your own flour and meal. These ideas gave birth to the machinery of the industrial revolution.
Peaceful Barry Mill might be a haven of tranquillity now, but it was once the beating heart of a rural community – supplying food, providing a place for trade and gossip, and witnessing the transition from a rural to an industrial society. The water-powered mill produced oatmeal and other foods, as well as providing work for local people, for almost 800 years – right up until 1982.
