As Locherlour Mill is a grade-B listed building, it had to be renovated to the strict standards of Historic Scotland, and use traditional materials wherever possible. For example, the entire roof of the Mill was replaced and all the old existing slates were re-used, all 4569 of them! Each slate was carefully removed, cleaned, set aside, and then replaced back on the new roof. Several areas of the original lime mortar had to be re-pointed. The old lime mortar at the Mill scientifically analysed to identify the correct composition. A quarry in Callendar (20 miles away) was identified with the same gravel composition, and we believe that this was the quarry used when the Mill was first built in 1832. |
Waterskiing, canoes, dingy sailing may be had at the watersport centre at Lochearnhead. |
