St Monans Windmill

Highlight • Monument

During the 17th and 18th centuries, salt was a vital commodity to the communities along this coastline. During that time, St Monans was used to pump seawater into pans. Once the pans were full, the coal was fired and the heat evaporated off the water to leave the salt behind. To produce one ton of salt took almost 32 tons of seawater. These days, the mill is a fascinating relic to days-gone-by and affords spectacular views across the Firth of Forth.
