Newmilns

Newmilns and Greenholm is a little burgh in East Ayrshire, Scotland. It has a population of 3,057 individuals (2001 census) and also rests on the A71, around 7 miles east of Kilmarnock as well as twenty-five miles southwest of Glasgow. It is situated in a valley through which the River Irvine runs and also, with the neighbouring towns of Darvel and also Galston, develops a location called the Upper Irvine Valley (locally described as The Valley). As the name recommends, the burgh exists in 2 components - Newmilns to the north of the river and Greenholm to the south. The river additionally separates the churches of Loudoun and also Galston, which is why the burgh, although usually referred to as Newmilns, has actually maintained both names. Of the mills themselves, little bit currently remains. The last in operation was Pate's Mill, which rested on Brown Street opposite the railway station (contemporary Vesuvius building). Famous in Allan Ramsay's rhyme, "The Lass o Pate's Mill", it was destroyed in 1977 and all that now continues to be is part of the mill's exterior wall. The only mill structure still undamaged can be found at the foot of Ladeside. Now made use of as real estate, Loudoun Mill (formerly the Meal Mill/ Corn Mill of Newmilns) was in use from 1593 till it quit producing meal in the 1960s. In 1970, the mill wheel was eliminated as well as the lade filled out, with the only remaining suggestion of the site's previous use being a slogan, "No Mill, No Meal - JA 1914" engraved on the external wall.
