18 September 2021 (10am to 4pm) Highland - Caithness Not normally open to the
public, the John O Groats Mill is almost certainly the last water powered
grain mill to be built in Scotland. Passed down through many generations of
the Houston family, it was still in use fifty years after all other Caithness
Mills. It finally stopped milling in 2001 on the sudden death of the last
miller. Still completely intact it’s a time capsule, exactly as it was over a
hundred years ago. On the buildings at risk register, the John O Groats Mill
Trust aim to secure the Mill’s future and restore it to its former prominence
in the community. Tours of the interior and exterior of the mill will be
available and a marquee outside will provide an exhibition on the mill and on
the project to bring it back to use as a heritage visitor attraction and
community venue. Facilities Parking Limited Access Gallery (function () {
