Millhouse is a village in the parish of Kilfinan on the Cowal peninsula of Argyllshire. It is to be found on the B8000 inland of Kames in the east and Portavadie in the west.
History
Millhouse was the location of a 19th-century Powdermill (1839 until 1921). The gunpowder was taken to nearby Kames, where the powdermill owners built a pier/quay for the loading of boats and the onward transport of their product.[1][2][3]
