Newmilns
Newmilns and also Greenholm is a little burgh in East Ayrshire, Scotland. It has a population of 3,057 individuals (2001 census) and pushes the A71, around seven miles east of Kilmarnock and also twenty-five miles southwest of Glasgow. It is positioned in a valley through which the River Irvine runs as well as, with the adjoining communities of Darvel and also Galston, creates a location known as the Upper Irvine Valley (locally described as The Valley). As the name recommends, the burgh exists in two components - Newmilns to the north of the river and also Greenholm to the south. The river also splits the parishes of Loudoun and also Galston, which is why the burgh, although generally referred to as Newmilns, has actually kept both names. Of the mills themselves, little bit now continues to be. The last in operation was Pate's Mill, which remained on Brown Street opposite the train station (contemporary Vesuvius structure). Famous in Allan Ramsay's poem, "The Lass o Pate's Mill", it was demolished in 1977 and all that currently stays is part of the mill's exterior wall. The only mill building still intact can be located at the foot of Ladeside. Currently made use of as real estate, Loudoun Mill (previously the Meal Mill/ Corn Mill of Newmilns) remained in use from 1593 up until it stopped creating dish in the 1960s. In 1970, the mill wheel was gotten rid of and the lade filled in, with the only staying tip of the site's previous usage being an adage, "No Mill, No Meal - JA 1914" etched on the external wall.
