At time of visit in 2001, converted to holiday appartments, and operated as part of the business of the neighbouring Lothian Bridge Caravan Park.

Surviving buildings from this former paper mill have been converted into dwellings, including 'Damside Cottage' (NT 3269 6483), and a rectangular-plan single-storeyed poychrome brick block (NT 3270 6482) with gabled roof, coped skews, and chimeys at the top of each gable. At the time of survey in 2001, the site as a whole, which is directly beneath the Newbattle Viaduct, had been converted into a caravan park.

The remaining buildings are situated on the N bank of the River South Esk at a point where the Dalhousie Burn joins it.

The mill is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Edinburghshire 1854, sheet 13) and the 25-inch of 1894 where it is annotated 'Newbattle Mill (paper) (disused), and shows a much larger complex of buildings than is depicted on the 2nd edition of 1907 through to the Provisional edition of 1932-1938. By the date of the 2nd edition the large house adjacent is annotated 'Glenesk' and by the date of the Revision edition of 1914 this had changed again to 'Craigesk'.
