Boulton & Watt steam engine
The star object of the High Mill is an 1801-1802 Boulton and Watt steam engine, on kind loan from Dundee City Council via a partnership with Leisure and Culture Dundee.
One of only four of its kind surviving in the UK, this engine is typical of the type used in textile mills in the 1800s originally used to drive the machinery at Douglasfield Bleach field, Dundee.

Ghost of ~Coffin Mill, Polepark Road & Brook Street, Dundee, Scotland
Haunting History of :
Coffin Mill, Polepark Road & Brook Street, Dundee, Scotland
Weaving was big business in Dundee as far back as the 16th century. After the Union with England in 1707 ended military hostilities, Dundee recovered from the devastation of the Siege of Dundee by General Monck in 1651 and established itself as an industrial and trading centre.
Coffin Mill named because of its shape.
A connecting bridge which spans two sections of the former mill is reputedly haunted by the ghost of a girl who crosses it every night. One story says that she was thrown off the bridge after she informed her manager that she was pregnant.
Coffin Mill, Brook Street:On September 5 1945, a newspaper printed a startling story with the headline: “Ghost walks bridge Dundee throng visits scene The White Lady of Coffin Mill.”
A large crowd gathered at the mill after a lady dressed in white was apparently spotted walking across the metal bridge that connected two of the buildings over the courtyard.
Geoff said: “So many people turned up that the police were called. They called for the crowd to disperse, but they got very unhappy about this and some young people began throwing stones at the windows and, for some reason, broke milk bottles at the entrance to the mill.
“To satisfy the public that everything was normal, a police officer and the works’ watchmen went round the building shining a torch in every window they passed.
“According to witness reports, the ghost was supposedly a young female mill worker who got her hair stuck in machinery and was crushed to death.”
Another version implies that that ghost actually haunts the Verdant Works mill that is 500 yards away, as Geoff Holder points out in his book haunted Dundee there are a number of similarities between the two mills, and they both have a metal bridge, and a girl was reported to have died there in similar circumstances with her hair becoming trapped in machinery. It seems other entities are reported within the Verdant Works also, with spectral voices being heard and a reflected apparition. The Verdant Works lies just to the west of Dundee city centre. It was once home to three steam engines running 70 power looms and 2,800 spindles. And 500 people were once employed preparing and spinning jute here and weaving it in another factory across the road.
Today the Verdant Works serves as a remarkable museum remembering, celebrating and explaining Dundee's jute industry.
Coffin Mill is now home to private flats.

Places to see in ( Dundee - UK )
Dundee is a coastal city on the Firth of Tay estuary in eastern Scotland. Its regenerated waterfront has 2 nautical museums: RRS Discovery, Captain Scott’s Antarctic expedition ship, and 19th-century warship, HM Frigate Unicorn. North of the water, Verdant Works is a museum celebrating the city’s jute-manufacturing heritage. The McManus: Dundee’s Art Gallery & Museum displays art and archaeological finds.
Dundee officially the City of Dundee, is Scotland's fourth-largest city and the 51st-most-populous built-up area in the United Kingdom. ies within the eastern central Lowlands on the north bank of the Firth of Tay, which feeds into the North Sea. Under the name of Dundee City, Dundee forms one of the 32 council areas used for local government in Scotland.
Historically part of Angus, the city of Dundee developed into a burgh in the late 12th century and established itself as an important east coast trading port. Rapid expansion was brought on by the Industrial Revolution, particularly in the 19th century when Dundee was the centre of the global jute industry. This, along with its other major industries gave Dundee its epithet as the city of jute, jam and journalism.
Today, Dundee is promoted as One City, Many Discoveries in honour of Dundee's history of scientific activities and of the RRS Discovery, Robert Falcon Scott's Antarctic exploration vessel, which was built in Dundee and is now berthed at Discovery Point. Biomedical and technological industries have arrived since the 1980s, and the city now accounts for 10% of the United Kingdom's digital-entertainment industry. Dundee has two universities — the University of Dundee and the Abertay University. In 2014 Dundee was recognised by the United Nations as the UK's first UNESCO City of Design for its diverse contributions to fields including medical research, comics and video games.
A unique feature of Dundee is that its two professional football clubs Dundee United and Dundee F.C. have stadiums all but adjacent to each other. With the decline of traditional industry, the city has adopted a plan to regenerate and reinvent itself as a cultural centre. In pursuit of this, a £1 billion master plan to regenerate and to reconnect the Waterfront to the city centre started in 2001 and is expected to be completed within a 30-year period, with the Dundee Victoria & Albert Museum opening by 2018 at a cost of £80 million.

Scotland-Kolkata Connections 2003 (Part 3: Common Thread)
Verdant Works was a busy jute mill which now as a museum transports visitors back over 100 years to when jute was king and Dundee was its realm. This film presents a historic review of the importance jute played in the economy of Dundee and Scotland during 19th century. Fascinatingly, the film shows machinery similar to that at the Dundee industrial museum operating in Kolkata today.
