MADE IN SCOTLAND SINCE 1784
The walls of Knockando Woolmill have echoed to the sound of industry for more than 200 years. Machinery may have been added over time, but the skilled manufacture of woollen textiles has continued uninterrupted.
The Woolmill is a rare survivor of a traditional way of life here in North East Scotland. The combination of textile production with crofting helped successive generations overcome slumps and competition, wars and natural disasters. With the support of a strong, local community, determined individuals have kept the Woolmill's wheel turning and its looms weaving.
Nearly all other district mills have fallen silent; Knockando Woolmill stands almost alone.
You can be a part of the Mill’s future and help ensure our historic site survives the next 200 years by making a small donation.
