Turning Mill

 

This Grade A Listed Mill forms part of the Finzean Sawmill complex. It was built in the 1830s by the Duncan family and involves a kiln building, generator shed and smiddy as well as the Turning Mill itself. The Mill is now operated by David Duncan, the fourth generation of his family to work there.

Traditionally, herring barrel bungs and brush heads were amongst the main products made at the Mill. Nowadays the main products are spurtles and other domestic utensils including tattie mashers and rolling pins. These can be bought from BCT.
