Statement of Interest

On the OS Map of 1847, the road crosses the burn at the same point, but it is not known whether Corsewall Mill Bridge took its current form at that date. Corsewall Mill Bridge is the only remaining feature of the Corsewall Mill site. Corsewall Mill, now demolished, was situated to the west. Donnachie describes it as "an interesting water-power site" with a "large multi-level, three/four-storey mill complex" dating from the late 18th century; he further states that "it has been a very large

and important mill locally". The mill lade enters Corsewall Burn to the west of Corsewall Mill Bridge.
