£4.6m Stanley Mills project completed
An 18th century cotton mill on the River Tay near Perth, Scotland, has opened to the public after a £4.6m restoration project.
The Stanley Mills have been converted into a new visitor attraction and education centre, which examine the history of the site.
The development features displays, interactives, exhibits and video footage, which aim to “unravel an important part of Scotland’s industrial heritage”.
Peter Bromley, director of properties in care at Historic Scotland, said: “Historic Scotland has been working on the Stanley Mills project since the mills came into our care in 1995 and it’s great to see the visitor attraction now opening to the public. We believe that the visitor centre, and its facilities, will put the mills back at the heart of the community.”
Visitors will be taken on a journey through the buildings – which date back to 1786 – to learn the story of the mill, its founding fathers, and the people who worked there.
The project was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Gannochy Trust and Scottish Enterprise Tayside.
