Description

The windmill at Sandend, Fordyce, has been restored and is being brought into residential use. A dwelling (apart for that of a caretaker and their family) cannot legally be designated as a scheduled monument under the Ancient Monument and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. We have therefore removed it from the Schedule.

Statement of Scheduling

The building remains of cultural significance and we have carried out an assessment using selection guidance for listing. Our assessment shows that the windmill meets the criteria of special architectural or historic interest. The decision is to list the building at category A, but to legally exclude the interiors and flat roof to the tower.
