John O’Groats Mill

John O’Groats Mill is the last of the great Caithness corn mills and was in operation until around 2001. In 2016, a trust was created with the vision of restoring the mill buildings, machinery, and water systems to full working order, enabling visitors to see a working Caithness mill, and for the wider community to make use of the building for a range of activities.

The proposal was to restore the mill building and add an extension on the rear side. The extension provides additional space, and offers the opportunity to uncouple service elements from the mill, minimising the heritage impact.
