Full Description
The pond and sluice which served Ardival Mill are shown on the OS 1st edition map (1876), but are not visible on the 2nd edition map (1906). The mill was still present on the 2nd edition map, but is no longer extant. According to Watson 1904, the mill is first mentioned in 1586 and ‘in 1681 it is mentioned as “Tympane mill, near Clach an Tiompan,” the stone in the grounds of Nutwood near the public road ...’ (Watson 1904, 99). According to Finlayson, the mill, which stood of the bottom of Ardival’s garden, was not generally known as Ardival Mill, but as the Tympan Mill (Finlayson 1979, 32). The Eagle stone (MHG43542) was said to have originally been located beside the mill.
