Site history notes
James Sandilands, Lord and Baron of the barony of Torphichen, granted to Thomas Inglis, portioner of Auldliston, his chamberlain, in 1577, the feu ferm victual that was payable to him by the tenants of the barony of Denny, for the rents of the Denny Mill. This was the baronial mill of Denny or Temple Denny; a dependant holding of the Preceptory of Torphichen. Thomas Inglis' son, also Thomas, sold the mill to his brother, James who was Provost of Glasgow. He in turn sold in in 1619 to John, Earl of Wigtown. Thomas Young was the miller there in 1621.
The 1841 parish account says that as well as grinding corn it also had a pot-barley mill.
The mill continued to operate into the 20th century but was demolished tomake way for new council houses.
