Remains of Spinningdale Cotton Mill is a late eighteenth-century industrial structure located in Sutherland, Scotland. The mill was established as part of the broader expansion of cotton manufacturing into Scotland during the late Georgian period, representing the development of textile production beyond the central industrial regions. The surviving remains indicate the substantial nature of the original building, which would have processed raw cotton into yarn using water power harnessed from the local watercourse. The site is recorded in the national heritage database as a significant example of early industrial development in the Scottish Highlands, demonstrating the geographical reach of Britain's cotton industry during this transformative period.
