Related Information
Former Coaching Inn and Temperance Hotel, is of further interest for its early date and situation on a strategic site at the southern approach road into Stonehaven. Coaches stopped here en route to Aberdeen from Edinburgh and Montrose. Its name derives from the meal mill which stood to the west of the building in what is now the car park. Gibb's VIEWS IN STONEHAVEN shows a Doric colonnade while later photographs show an Ionic colonnade. This had been replaced by a glass porch which was removed after fire damage in 1997, leading to subsequent conversion to flats in 1998.
