Newmilns
Newmilns as well as Greenholm is a tiny burgh in East Ayrshire, Scotland. It has a population of 3,057 individuals (2001 census) as well as rests on the A71, around seven miles east of Kilmarnock and also twenty-five miles southwest of Glasgow. It is located in a valley through which the River Irvine runs and also, with the neighbouring towns of Darvel and also Galston, forms an area known as the Upper Irvine Valley (in your area referred to as The Valley). As the name recommends, the burgh exists in two parts - Newmilns to the north of the river as well as Greenholm to the south. The river additionally splits the churches of Loudoun as well as Galston, which is why the burgh, although typically referred to as Newmilns, has preserved both names. Of the mills themselves, little bit currently remains. The last in operation was Pate's Mill, which rested on Brown Street opposite the train station (present-day Vesuvius structure). Renowned in Allan Ramsay's rhyme, "The Lass o Pate's Mill", it was knocked down in 1977 and all that currently stays becomes part of the mill's outside wall surface. The only mill structure still intact can be discovered at the foot of Ladeside. Now used as real estate, Loudoun Mill (formerly the Meal Mill/ Corn Mill of Newmilns) was in usage from 1593 until it stopped creating dish in the 1960s. In 1970, the mill wheel was removed and also the lade completed, with the only continuing to be idea of the site's former use being a motto, "No Mill, No Meal - JA 1914" inscribed on the external wall.
