Scope and Content Knockando Woollen Mill, Morayshire This small mill was originally constructed as a water-powered carding mill, and was later extended to house a spinning mule. Finally a weaving shed was added, with two power-looms. The mill was converted to electric drive after World War II. This view shows the entrance to the mill. The lean-to with the corrugated-iron roof was built to house the teazling machine. The pantiled-roofed section contains the spinning mule. This mill has been kept alive by Hugh Jones, who has used the looms to make fine woollen fabrics. In 2000 a trust was set to ensure the survival of this remarkable survival. It is the smaller of two surviving country woollen mills in Scotland. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
