Mill Of Mundurno Derilict Farm Water Wheel Aberdeen Scotland 2017
Mill Of Mundorno Farm is now long gone, today the water wheel building stands as it was back in the old days, the field surrounding it is water logged with trickles of water still flowing towards the drain at the base.
The site is now owned by a Premier Inn bar and restaurant who have taken the name of the farm .
I can find no information anywhere on the internet ref the original Farm, hence I can only submit the photos I captured on the day I visited and hope you can appreciate this piece of Scottish history as much as I do.
I've posted below the info from Wiki ref Watermills to at least give a little understanding of the sites purpose back in the day .
A watermill or water mill is a mill that utilizes hydropower. It is a structure that uses a water wheel or water turbine to drive a mechanical process such as milling (grinding), rolling, or hammering. Such processes are needed in the production of many material goods, including flour, lumber, paper, textiles, and many metal products. Thus watermills may be comprise gristmills, sawmills, paper mills, textile mills, hammermills, trip hammering mills, rolling mills, wire drawing mills.
One major way to classify watermills is by wheel orientation (vertical or horizontal), one powered by a vertical waterwheel through a gearing mechanism, and the other equipped with a horizontal waterwheel without such a mechanism.
