Castlehill Pavement Works, Tower Pumping Windmill

Windmill (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Castlehill Pavement Works, Tower Pumping Windmill stands in Highland, Scotland, a structure recorded without a clear period but tied to pavement works rather than grain. The tower may have pumped water for roads or buildings, its sails catching breath from the land instead of storing meal. If so, the windmill served a hidden purpose, moving liquid through stone and iron while people passed beneath.
