Meikle Millbank Mill, Industrial mill ruins in Lochwinnoch, Scotland

The T-shaped structure of Meikle Millbank Mill contains remnants of a waterwheel, gearing mechanisms, and three sets of millstones within its horizontal section.

The mill appears on John Ainslie's map from 1796, showing the mill dam and pond at the junction of the lane leading to Auchenhane.

The mill operated under thirlage law, requiring local farmers to process their grain at this location, shaping the agricultural practices of the community.

The structure measures 13.5 meters along its horizontal arm and 8 meters vertically, with a maximum height of 8 meters from water level.

The mill utilized an overshot waterwheel powered by Millbank Burn, featuring two sets of French burrstone millstones for different grain processing tasks.
