Newmilns
Newmilns and also Greenholm is a small burgh in East Ayrshire, Scotland. It has a population of 3,057 people (2001 census) and also lies on the A71, around seven miles east of Kilmarnock and also twenty-five miles southwest of Glasgow. It is located in a valley where the River Irvine runs as well as, with the adjoining towns of Darvel and Galston, develops a location referred to as the Upper Irvine Valley (in your area referred to as The Valley). As the name suggests, the burgh exists in two parts - Newmilns to the north of the river and also Greenholm to the south. The river additionally separates the parishes of Loudoun and Galston, which is why the burgh, although generally described as Newmilns, has preserved both names. Of the mills themselves, little bit currently stays. The last in operation was Pate's Mill, which rested on Brown Street opposite the train station (contemporary Vesuvius structure). Famed in Allan Ramsay's rhyme, "The Lass o Pate's Mill", it was destroyed in 1977 and all that now remains belongs to the mill's outside wall surface. The only mill building still intact can be located at the foot of Ladeside. Currently used as housing, Loudoun Mill (formerly the Meal Mill/ Corn Mill of Newmilns) remained in usage from 1593 up until it quit producing meal in the 1960s. In 1970, the mill wheel was removed as well as the lade filled out, with the only staying idea of the site's previous usage being a motto, "No Mill, No Meal - JA 1914" etched on the external wall.
