Barry Mill NTS

Barry Mill NTS See the power of water turning the waterwheel bringing to life the millstones and sack lift inside this picturesque 19th-century working mill.

Our Mill is the finest example of a pre-industrial corn mill still extant in Scotland but besides the wonderful architecture & machinery and stories that live within, our gem of a nature reserve with walks by the Barry burn is open to all - all year for you to enjoy.

πŸ’— Nestled in a tranquil valley beside the Barry Burn, but only 8 miles from Dundee, late spring is a beautiful time to visit the mill.

🌾🌊 Join a tour of the working water-powered mill, once the beating heart of the rural community for almost 800 years. Now it's one of the largest remaining examples in operation. See the great stone wheels turning and hear the millers' charming tales of Scottish rural life that shaped this place for generations.

🌳 Then follow the burnside path, surrounded by fresh spring colours and the chatter of birdsong, for a calm, relaxing walk.

And when you’re ready for a pause, a picnic by the water is a perfect spot to take in the changing season.
