Weisdale Mill, Historic watermill in Weisdale, Shetland Islands, United Kingdom.

The mill structure stands near Weisdale Voe with stone walls, multiple floors, and traditional architectural elements typical of 19th-century Scottish watermills.

Built in 1855, Weisdale Mill operated as Shetland's largest corn mill until the 1930s, where farmers brought their oats and corn for grinding.

The Bonhoga Gallery within Weisdale Mill exhibits contemporary art collections and supports local artists through regular exhibitions and cultural events.

Visitors can explore the art gallery, enjoy refreshments at the Mill Cafe, and purchase local crafts from the gift shop under one roof.

During World War II, the mill survived direct enemy fire, with bullets passing through its back door while operating as a butcher shop.
