PB the Cairn
Lochwinnoch
The purpose of the site is to help those new to the village to connect with its past and for those who have left for pastures new to remember what was left behind
Buildings
The Calderhaugh mill and the Calderpark mill had their names shortened to the New mill and the Old mill. I guess these names were less of a mouthful. Calderhaugh was built in 1789 and Calderpark in 1788. Latterly Calderhaugh became known as the Silk Mill due to specialising in silk products (well I never!!) from the late 1800's. In keeping with the villages transformation from an industrial hub to a dormitory town this building has been converted into a set of flats.
