Restored to full working order, this late-18th century corn mill, for flour and animal feed, with its miller's house and associated buildings gives a unique insight into a lost industry. The McGilton family worked the windmill until the 1914-18 War; thankfully they saved the windmill and gave it to the state so that we can enjoy it today.

The outbuildings now serve as visitor centre with displays, models and audio-visual theatre.

      My great grandfather one Edward Victor Robinson 1832-1906once owned the mill at Millisle I believe
      --- It would be fascinating to know if this was it.
