Statement of Interest

In 1840 the dam at Millheugh was heightened and an elaborate system of lades and run-offs was constructed to power the undershot wheel for the new bleachworks to be built. There had been a house on this site since the early 19th century, the Clydesdale Journal advertising its availability to rent in 1820, the present building replacing it in the early 20th century.
