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]
Transportation
The village is served by the 478 Dunoon–Portavadie bus, operated by West Coast Motors.[4]
