Funding secured to restore historic Scottish mill as visitor attraction

A COMMUNITY-OWNED nineteenth-century mill on the Isle of Lewis has been awarded funding for its restoration.

Built in 1893, the Garrabost Mill was in commercial operation, milling barley and oatmeal for crofting communities until 1956 and was under the ownership of the Morrison family for more than a century.

The Garrabost Mill Trust, a volunteer committee, will manage the restoration plans to turn the site into a visitor attraction.
