Knockando Woolmill, Historic watermill in Spey Valley, Scotland

The Knockando Woolmill contains multiple buildings including a main mill structure, weaving shed, cottage, and miller's dwelling spanning across the rural property.

First recorded in 1784 as a waulk mill operated by William and Anne Grant, the site has maintained continuous wool production operations for over 230 years.

The mill supplied blankets to the Ministry of Defence during World War I and represents Scotland's textile manufacturing heritage through its preserved Victorian machinery.

Visitors can explore the working mill from April to September, observing the production process of woolen textiles using historical equipment and traditional methods.

The mill houses two Victorian looms manufactured by Hutchinson, Hollingworth & Co, which remain among the oldest operational weaving machines in existence.
