Lundie Mill in 17th century

[AncesStory]

I am interested in finding out  about the original Lundie mill, near Largo  in Fife mid to late 17th century. Any information would be wonderful.

Thanks for this information! Looks like the mill owner in 1650s and 1660s was a William Lundie. Would he be related to Robert Maitland the Laird of Lundie ?

Hepburn's link states that he was a brother in law of Maitland.

Thanks - I think his brother in law mentioned would be Robert Eadie -  first wife's brother? Thanks to the link I am hoping to find out about a charter dated 1666 held at St Andrews re. sale of land and mill at Byrehillis to William Lundie and Elizabeth (Elspet) Eadie! Also, Robert Maitland, Laird of Lundie, was  second son of the Earl of Lauderdale, who married Margaret, daughter of John Lundie,  third son of John Lundie of that Ilk, and the grandson of William Lundie of that Ilk. John died in 1647, and was succeeded to Lundie by his daughter Margaret  and son in law Robert Maitland who adopted the name Lundie. Margaret was succeeded by her daughter Sophia Lundin.

A.S,  this from "The Scottish Country Miller  1700-1900", by Enid Gauldie, 1981.

The lands, barony of Benhame with the mill, were granted by John Lundy of that ilk, knight & spouse Isabel, to their son Robert in the 1491. The De Benhame's had held these lands from the 12th cent' and they passed by marriage from the Lundy's to the Keith, Earls Marischal until 1669 when sold to Scott of Logie. The estate mill is apparently still in use.
