  • Preston Mill Teacher’S Information
    Preston Mill Teacher’s information Preston Mill is one of the oldest water-driven meal mills in Scotland. There has been a mill on this site for centuries. It was last in operation commercially as late as 1957. A century ago there were many mills operating along the River Tyne, serving the farmlands of East Lothian, but most have disappeared. The Preston Mill site comprises two pan-tiled buildings: the conical-roofed kiln for drying the corn and the mill containing the machinery for grinding the corn. The water system is still in place. A large iron water wheel (believed to have been produced by Alex Mathers & Son in 1910) powers the machinery. There is an exhibition on milling, with archive images and recordings, and some working models, within the outhouses. Phantassie Doocot is a 15-minute walk away along a well-marked track. It contains nesting places once used for 500 birds. The walk connects to a food theme – from mill to arable fields to the doocot. You can also opt to follow a footpath around the field and beside the river, for a longer walk. The school visit offers opportunities for cross-curricular work and engaging with the Curriculum for Excellence: • Guided tour of the mill - see the mill working and have the processes explained • Tours can be adapted to suit the requirements of your class. • Ranger led walks are available and can also be adapted to your needs – popular study areas: minibeasts; trees; plants. Please contact the Ranger Office. • Classes can be split in 2 for a themed visit: one group visits the Mill while the other group has a ranger- led walk to the Doocot; they then swap round.
