If you're anywhere near the north east of Scotland this weekend, you'll have the opportunity to visit the Knockando Woolmill before the restoration work begins later this year.
The Knockando Woolmill Trust has now secured funding for the £3.5 million restoration programme which will save the Mill and allow the skills that have been employed there since 1784 to be passed onto generations to come.
There are still a number of ways in which you can become involved - from joining the Friend's scheme to making a larger donation - St. Jude's are pleased to be sponsoring one of the 40 waterwheel paddles that need to be replaced.
The Open Day takes place on Sunday 28th June between 10am and 4pm. Further details via the Knockando Woolmill Trust website. Please do pass details of this onto anyone you might know in the area.
