The Weaving Shed, Ettrick Mill (B Listed)

Following a �3m renovation this B listed former weaving shed to the rear of the main mill reopened this summer as the headquarters of the Eildon Housing Group.� Now providing first class office space for over 80 staff,� its transformation was masterminded by architect Alan Marshall of Gray Marshall Associates.

The mill chimney adjacent to the weaving shed remains a landmark.

Guided tours will run throughout the day.�

The Weaving Shed was part of an important complex of buildings which provided employment for over 20,000 in the weaving, spinning, and knitwear industries.� It stands behind the mill building latterly known as Ettrick and Yarrow spinners, 'the largest and finest' mill in all the Borders which was renovated in 2002 by Scottish Enterprise as a high-tech business centre.� Immediately beside the Weaving Shed is one of the few remaining tall chimneys and immediately beyond this is the former Boiler House.� It has now been renovated as the offices of Allied Surveyors.� The last remaining derelict building on the site is the former Yarn Store.
