Clunie Mill is the remains of an old watermill, referred to sometimes as the Mill on the Clunie in direct reference to its location on the banks of the River Clunie. The mill was built around the 18th century. One of its main surviving features today is the old mill wheel, which is an 8-spoke, mid-breast paddle wheel. It stands approximately 2ft 9ins wide by 13 ft 6ins in diameter.
