Scope and Content Woollen Mill, Kilmahog, Stirling This mill was probably founded in the early 19th century as a carding mill to provide hand spinners with carded sliver, and then probably added spinning and power-loom weaving to meet the needs of local country people. As it is on the main road to the Trossachs it may have catered for an early tourist trade. This shows one of the two ranges of buildings at the mill, with the waterwheel in the distance on the right. This building probably housed the spinning mill, with the weaving conducted in a building to the right. By 1969 this mill was an established tourist attraction, selling woollens made elsewhere, in what appeared to be a former weaving shop. Since then it has become more of a shop, and is still very popular with visitors. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
