Millhouse is a village in the parish of Kilfinan. Located on the inland from Kames in the east and Portavadie in the west, on the Cowal peninsula, Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
History[]
Millhouse was the location of a 19th-century Powdermill (1839 until 1921). The gunpowder was taken to nearby Kames, where the powdermill owners built a pier/quay for the loading of boats and the onward transport of their product.[1][2][3]
