Trivia Tuesday: Tucked away peacefully beside the Barry Burn in Carnoustie, Barry Mill NTS might seem like a quiet, picturesque spot today. But this remarkable working watermill, now cared for by the National Trust for Scotland, holds centuries of fascinating history and was once the bustling beating heart of its rural community.
The current structure of Barry Mill dates back to 1814. Its predecessor, the Over Mill, was tragically destroyed by fire, a common hazard for wooden mills. But the community rebuilt it, a testament to its crucial role in daily life. For centuries, the mill continuously ground oats into oatmeal and later, animal feed, evolving with the needs of the area. It survived the shifts from feudal systems to industrialisation, remaining operational right up until 1982, the last commercial water-powered mill to operate in Angus.
Today, when you visit Barry Mill, you`re not just seeing a static exhibit. You can witness the ancient machinery in action, hear the rhythmic clatter of the cogs, and even smell the distinctive aroma of oatmeal - a living reminder of how our food was made, and a powerful connection to Scotland`s rich agricultural and industrial past.
