Statement of Interest

B Group with Iron Mill, and Miller's House, Ironmills. Cartshed Range forms part of a group of buildings consisting of Iron Mill (see separate listing)

to S, Miller's House (see separate listing) to N and Cartshed, Stable and

Cottage range to NE, now all in residential use. The visually attractive group is situated in the centre of Ironmills Park. The site had been used for iron founding since 1648. The iron mill was coverted into a corn mill sometime in the early 19th century. In 1913 an engine and pumps were fitted into the property to aid the town's water supply. Water power came from a weir on the North Esk to the W; the mill lade was filled-in in 1963.
