The Waterwheel

View one of the largest working Waterwheels in Scotland.

Our fully restored working water wheel was originally built around about 1850.

The Mill was used for threshing and to power the saw mill.

Water was diverted from the river to power the mill and the mill lade at one time stretched all the way to Selkirk.

Although we don't use it's power today the waterwheel is still operational and can be seen moving the water most days at Philiphaugh.
