Christine and John have visited Knockando Wool Mill, in the upper Spey valley, to meet with Operations Director Terry Cleaver. The meeting was arranged through Busega Scotland trustee Colin Sanders, who has helped the mill become established as a charitable trust.
‘Knockando Woolmill continues an unbroken 200 year old tradition, producing woven fabric on its historic looms. Knockando Woolmill has always been at the heart of the local community. Listed as the ‘Wauk Mill’ in parish records from 1784, the mill has since maintained its traditions of spinning and weaving through generations of families.’
The discussions with Terry were very productive and bode well for a joint venture between the two organisations. How great it would be if the mill, with its long history, could partner with one of Scotland’s newest charities!
Knockando Woolmill has a superb website charting its history and current activities along with an online shop : www.knockandowoolmill.org.uk/
