Preston Mill is managed by the National Trust for Scotland. It is one of the oldest mills in Scotland and was used as a location for the television show Outlander. It was still producing oatmeal comercially as recently as 1959 and was the last working watermill in the Lothians. There is a countryside walk to the nearby Phantassie Doocot. Our tours give an insight into the working life of the miller and his mill, and show how his water powered machines were used for moving, grinding and dressing the oats which kept the local commuity fed. The tour also shows the development of pre-industrial technology and how water was harnessed as a power source. Guided tours run most days when we are open. Tours start promptly so please make sure you give yourself plenty of time. On arrival, please go to the visitor centre to check in.
