Lottery Cash to Restore Wool Mill

A woollen mill on Speyside which has manufactured cloth since 1784 has been given a lifeline through lottery cash.

Knockando Woolmill, which featured in the BBC Two series Restoration, is in danger of collapse and school trips can no longer visit because of the risk.

The mill has been given a grant of £1.3m and development funding of £120,000 by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
