They appear to be early in date – 17th to early 18th century. Some have been converted into doocots in later times. The most complete example is at Hillhouse, Dunfermline, Fife. Windmills were applied to a wide range of uses, from powering threshing machines to draining coal mines. Though widespread, they were far fewer in number than water mills.
