The story so far

Knockando Woolmill has been producing textiles since at least 1784. After centuries of continuous production, Knockando Woolmill faces an uncertain future.

The buildings, A-Group listed and cited as 'internationally significant' by Historic Scotland, are in a critical condition and the machinery in sore need of renovation. When the current weaver retires, his specialist knowledge and skills will go with him and an important piece of Scottish history could disappear forever.

The Conservation Plan stressed that “The site, and all that is encompassed by it, is extraordinarily fragile. Without careful, loving preservation, it will not survive.” Andrew Wright, 2006.

Since 2000 the Knockando Woolmill Trust has...

• Drawn up detailed plans for restoring the buildings and machinery
• Developed an outline plan of how we intend to develop the site
• Worked out the cost of the Project, about £3 million
• Started fund raising
