A splendid spot for a stop, and to find out more about how wool mills operated in the past. They have volunteers that work as guides around the mill. I do recommend you call ahead though and let them know when you are coming, so they can be there for your arrival, if you want one. This location is recently (2009 or so) renovated from a warn down, abandoned mill. They have done a splendid job with the renovation. On display are many illustrations of how things were, including a display of the 14 layers of wall paper (original) that layer upon layer got put on upon itself. There are many different rooms and buildings that show the different stages of turning raw sheep wool, all the way to a finished product (like scarves, etc.), If you local color and historical perspectives of how things use to be, this is a lovely place to visit. But I'd recommend you call ahead to let them know when you would plan to arrive. read more

Superb restoration of a historical rural wool mill. Great 2 hour tour that was pre arranged. Fantastic gift shop. Small cafe. I was really surprised at how interesting and impressive a wool mill would be! The complexity of the wool milling process and its fantastic machines was extremely interesting! read more

History
Established in 1784.
Deep in the Spey Valley, 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.
