John o' Groats Mill, Caithness

John o' Groats Mill John o’ Groats Mill, built in 1750, stands on a small stream overlooking the sea at John o' Groats in the north-east corner of Caithness – which itself is the north-east corner of Great Britain. It ceased operating long ago but retains it original machinery and fittings. It has recently beenn restored as a piece of local heritage. The mill was built in about 1750 and worked as a threshing mill, then as a grain mill into the 20th Century. It has been known variously as 'John O' Groats Mill', 'Huna Mill' and 'Burn Of Duncansby Mill'. A bridge over the stream links the mill with Mill Cottage: this is believed to be the oldest military bridge in the north. (Read more)
