Garshake Corn Mill
The mill stood on the east side of the Garshake Burn, which powered it; its ruins are visible just downstream of a bridge over the burn. It is labelled "T. Mill" on the first-edition OS map (1860), "Corn Mill" on the second-edition map (c.1898), and "Corn Mill (disused)" on the 1918 map revision. Legal proceedings from 1904 mention "the Old Corn Mill on the east side of Garshake Burn", the "Old" perhaps indicating that the mill was by then disused.
