Shawbost Norse Mill and Kiln, Lewis, Scotland
This site was walking distance from the cottage I stayed at for a week on the Isle of Lewis. There were hundreds of these in existence in earlier times but now only a few remain. This one was restored by the local schoolchildren. It enabled corn to be milled, using only a small stream as the power source.
Another amazing example of living sustainably, using the sparse energy resources available, in an efficient manner. They knew a lot about practical eco living over a hundred years ago!
