Lower City Mills, Category A listed watermill in Perth, Scotland.

The Lower City Mills features two connected buildings along the Perth Lade, with a water wheel system that powered grain processing operations throughout its history.

Dating back to the 14th century, the mill underwent reconstruction in 1805 following a fire, when millwright John Stewart consolidated the water wheel system into a single unit.

The mill represents the agricultural legacy of Perth, demonstrating the traditional methods of processing oats and barley that supported the local farming community.

Located on West Mill Street, the former watermill now houses the Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust, which focuses on preserving historical buildings and traditions.

Four waterfalls generated power for the mill operations in 1807, enabling substantial grain processing capabilities for both oats and pot barley production.
