Projects > The Old Mill

The Old Mill is a flagship project for KAT and Killin. The Old Mill itself is a 1840s b-listed building with a working waterwheel, which sits next to the Falls of Dochart in Killin, Scotland.  It is a gateway to the village, drawing visitors in and introducing them to all Killin has in store.

 

The project is made up of a local maker’s market, that was originally set up in partnership with Creative Stirling; and a creative community and heritage hub, where through our events and exhibitions the threads of Killin's past and future heritage are gathered and woven together. We are also in the process of building a community archive and collection, housed in the building.

We are home to the Healing Stones of St Fillan, eight water washed stones that people still visit, hold and use to this day. They are also the only known physical evidence of ancient horizontal milling in Central Scotland.

As a Killin community-owned and run project, we share and celebrate our heritage and encourage all to be a part of weaving of it. We offer visitors a feel of 'the fabric of Killin’ as a place and as a community. We are aware that heritage is not static, we are creating the heritage of the future in the things we do today; just as our past has shaped our present and contains important wisdom for us now. We encourage you to come and be part of it.
