  Mill Dam – Watercolour

  This is the dam area for Preston mill as attempted in my previous post. Mills used to have these reservoirs to ensure that the waterwheel continued to work through dry spells.

  Preston Mill – Watercolour

  This old mill dates back to the 18th century but there has been a mill on this site for at least a couple of hundred years before that. It is situated near the village of East Linton, East Lothian about 20 miles outside Edinburgh. The present building was in use until the middle of the 20th century. It is a great place to visit and sketch being a crazy collection of buildings which have been added to, and taken down, over the years. It is now looked after by The National Trust for Scotland.
