Barry Mill is a historical site located in the village of Barry, Angus, Scotland. It is a traditional water-powered corn mill that has been in operation for over two centuries. The mill stands on the banks of the Barry Burn, which provides the necessary water supply to power the mill's machinery.

Built in the early 19th century, Barry Mill is a well-preserved example of an agricultural mill from that era. It consists of a three-story stone building with a distinctive red-tiled roof. The mill's machinery includes a large waterwheel, gears, and grinding stones, all of which are still operational.

Visitors to Barry Mill have the opportunity to explore the mill's interior and witness the milling process in action. The grinding stones grind the locally grown grain into flour, which can be purchased at the site's gift shop. Guided tours are available, providing insightful information about the mill's history and operation.

Surrounding the mill is a picturesque landscape of wooded areas and fields, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll. There is also a picnic area where visitors can enjoy a meal while taking in the tranquil surroundings.

Barry Mill is recognized as a Category A listed building, indicating its national significance. It is managed by the National Trust for Scotland and offers a unique glimpse into Scotland's agricultural and industrial heritage. Whether for historical or recreational purposes, Barry Mill is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Scotland's rich past.
