Newmill is a planned village 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) north of the town of Keith in the Moray council area of north-east Scotland. The resident population at the 2001 census was recorded as 452.[1]
History
The current street-plan of the village was laid out in approximately 1759 by the Earls of Fife,[2] but there are records of a much earlier settlement dating back to 1535 when a meal mill was built by Bishop Crystall. The Castle of Glengerrick once stood at the site of the village church, now a private dwelling.[3]
Slate from the local quarry was used in the renovation of Pluscarden Abbey and the Convent of Greyfriars in Elgin.[3]
In 1905, the Newmill Literary Society, supported by the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie, built the Newmill Institute, now the Village Hall.[3]
In the centre of the village square is a war memorial, a four-stage clock tower, built in 1922–23 and designed by F. A. Robertson.[4]
Services
Services in Newmill include the village post office which is now closed.[5]
Education
The village is served by Newmill Primary School,[6] whilst secondary pupils travel to Keith Grammar School or Buckie high school and more.
Notable people
- James Gordon Bennett, Sr., founder and publisher of the New York Herald, grew up in Newmill.[3]
