A bit of a family tradition at Easter time. Duck races are great fun despite how competitive the dads get. It's a nice day if the weather is fine. There is also a short walk in the country that is well worth the effort.

Well worth a visit, I had been previously but took my husband as I knew he would be interested - he LOVED it! The National Trust for Scotland have done a wonderful job in saving this mill. Special mention has to go to the manager Peter Ellis who is so passionate about the mill and also very interesting. We had a great afternoon and would recommend a visit.

I visited this mill last summer. Although I wasn't initially particularly enthusiastic about this visit, I found it to be extremely interested and enjoyed my afternoon there. This was mainly due to the staff, in particular the nice, enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, who showed us around the mill. It was evident that he had a great knowledge of the mill, and enjoyed showing it to visitors. I highly recommend it.

It was really interesting seeing round this old mill. The chap responsible for the workings of the mill was very interesting and information, clearly knowing a lot about the history and running of the mill. On Sundays, subject to numbers, they do milling demonstrations, which we'd like to see another time.

This is a nice place to go for a quiet Sunday afternoon! The mill is very interesting and it's good to see things from a time gone by in working order! The walk around the mill is very nice and a great escape! But beware the swan guarding the path! Wouldn't budge for us so had to turn back ( wasn't aggressive just busy sorting it's feathers)!

We were the first to arrive on a Monday lunch time (its open Fri-Tue not Thu-Mon) and like others here we were greeted by Peter who suggested we visit the Weir first and then make our way back to the mill. It only took about 1/2 hour for the walk but we managed to spot a Kingfisher en route. Peter opened the Mill for us and after turning the wheel on he then gave a briefing which covered every aspect of the Mill, its history and its inhabitants over the years. We were treated to a visit by the resident Blackbird who wanted to get in on the act. The whole visit only took approx. 90 mins but it was one of the best NTS experiences we have had so far. Thank you Peter and thank you NTS.

Worthwhile going to see. You just sometimes don't know what is on I your own doorstep. Miller was very knowledgable. Great interaction with all there.

Barry Mill wasn't my idea of a family day out, BUT I went along with the family just to see what it was all about . . . We arrived a bit early but staff/manager Peter greeted us and told us we were welcome to explore the gardens/pond/orchard until opening time . . . An offer we took up. On 1st arriving at Barry Mill there's a gravelly car park. The view from the top of the stairs down to the reception & Mill is like that of a country cottage jigsaw - beautiful.We were given a lovely warm welcome and details of where to go within the mill and introduced to Kieron who'd be over shortly to give us a proper tour.Kieron gave us a very informative tour/talk answering questions in great detail and full of enthusiasm for the mill and it's workings. Peter soon joined us and had the mill up and running so we could all see how the mill worked. Peter too is very passionate about the mill and it's workings. We spent more or less the WHOLE AFTERNOON there. Thoroughly enjoyable as well as educational. Peter & Kieron ensure you arrive as strangers and leave feeling you've been friends for years.Definitely well worth the visit. . . Will we go back? . . . MOST DEFINITELY!!!

We arrived before the opening time of the mill on a Sunday but access was open and we had a lovely walk along through the grounds and along the mill lade. On our return the reception area was open and we had a chat with the very friendly staff. We were dissapointed that there was no milling demonstration planned that day and while they waited for more people to arrive before holding a tour of the mill we went to look at the information display in the mill. Within 5 or 10 minutes Peter arrived and said he would do the tour with just the two of us. Peter has enjoyed a long career in milling and listening his expert and knowledgable explanation of all aspects of the mill, technical, historical and social was a pleasure. We learnt far more than if we had just walked round ourselves. Next time we are in the area we will definitely be visiting again.

We were lucky with the weather as our visit was over the Easter weekend. We had a personal guide which meant that you could ask as many questions as you wished. We were given a bit of the history surrounding the site. Records show that there has been a mill on the site since 1539. The current mill was rebuilt in 1814 after a fire. It was extended in the 1930's. The mill stopped production in 1982 & was sold to the National Trust for Scotland in 1992.We were shown how the grain was dried, stored and then milled. The nearby stream supplies the water to turn the wheel at constant speed. Our guide was very good at explaining the way the mill was operated and how those who worked there spend their day.Really facsinating. Great day out for the family. There is a picnic area on site.

Only 10 minutes from home. Excellent guide and interesting to learn about local history. Well laid out site.

We walked from the Carnoustie Golf Hotel to Barry Mill where we were greeted by the miller. We gladly accepted his offer of a personal tour complete with commentary round the mill - he was very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed his enthusiasm for the mill. Beautiful location. Well worth a visit.

Amazing look at early 19th century life in the rural areas. Excellent tour of the mill with a demonstration of milling . A real look at how hard people worked creating a simple but staple food group for many. Educational and fun. Things like this need preserving or the future so pay it a visit. Join the nts and there's plenty of places to visit close by also.

Excellent place to visit. The tour was very informative and both members of staff were knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Have passed this many times and so glad we decided to spend an afternoon there. We were greeted by Peter Ellis who was fascinating and spent a good bit of time explaining about the mill and the history. We were given a guided tour by Jenny who was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great afternoon. Nice walks as well surrounding the mill. Kids of ALL ages would love it!
