watermills still operational in Scotland
The mill worked continuously until 1929 when it ceased production

mills.
The Balir Atholl Watermill was then used as a store until
1977 when restoration work was begun by John Ridley with the help
of the last millers' assistant who could still remember the old
mill. John Ridley retired in 1993 and it then passed to James and
Mary Bruce, parents of the current owner.
You can view the mill and see how wheat and oats are stoneground
in the traditional 
way, which helps
retain the nutrition
al benefits of the grain as well as giving the

coarse, medium and fine oatmeal and coarse wholemeal, wholemeal and
bread flour. The flour and oatmeal are used in the home
baking in the mill's tearoom as well as being
available to buy in the mill's shop.
