Barony Mills

Barony Mills is a historic 19th-century watermill located in Orkney, Scotland. It sits on the mainland of Orkney and serves as an active historical site.

Barony Mills is distinctively notable for still producing traditional beremeal. The mill processes this ancient grain using its original, water-powered machinery.

Beremeal is a traditional grain native to Scotland, most commonly used to make bannocks (a type of flatbread). Barony Mills is one of the few commercial mills left that still grinds this specific type of barley.

Barony Mills operates entirely on water power. It uses a large water wheel driven by a nearby burn to turn the heavy millstones that grind the grain.
