A visit to a Clickmill....

 


On the Orkney Mainland, amid moorland and farmland, is a Clickmill.  This lovely old building was built in the early part of the 19th Century and is powered by water.  The name Click Mill comes from the noise it makes. More of an explanation is available here

The two photos below show some of the workings (the mill was temporarily closed when we visited so I didn't get inside).




A gentle burn outside....







A traditional turf roof thatched over flagstone slabs gives added insulation.




Marsh marigolds in a ditch.....
