Garlogie Beam Engine

It is a rare survivor of the Industrial Revolution and the oldest steam engine of any kind still in its original location in Scotland.

[2] To provide power when water levels were low, Haddens installed a beam engine in 1833.

A coal gas plant, added in the 1940s, provided light in the mill, replacing open flames.

[1] He installed a second dam on the Leuchar Burn with a concrete penstock along the course of the previous mill lade to a large surge tank.

The 1923 72 kW Escher Wyss plant supplied electricity to Dunecht House and Estate.

[5] The Garlogie Beam Engine Trust was formed in 2019 and established a 99-year lease with Aberdeenshire Council from July 2023.

The trust's vision is for the site to become a working museum, telling the story of the mill and providing educational opportunities.
