Mill of Benholm is a community project owned and operated by the people of Aberdeenshire

Operating as a charity it seeks to maintain and develop the Mill, it's buildings and grounds as a resource for tourists and local communities.

Welcome to the Mill of Benholm

Benholm Mill is an historic watermill, set in an idyllic setting nestling snugly beside the Benholm Burn. The Benholm Mill Trust works with Aberdeenshire Council  to provide work experience and training for adults with special needs, in catering, horticulture, furniture restoration, shop and office work.

The Mill is an attraction to be enjoyed both by tourists and by local people. But the peace and tranquility which make the mill so appealing today belies its hustle and bustle of yesteryear. As you wind your way down the path to the small cluster of buildings at the foot of the brae, try to imagine what the scene would have been like 100 years ago ....

For an enjoyable day out come and experience the wonderful atmosphere, sounds and smells of rural life at Benholm. Or, would you like to use our facilities to host your next event? Contact us to find out how we can help.

An EGM has been called for Wednesday, 6th October at 7pm. Location to follow. Anyone interested in becoming a member of the Mill Trust is invited.
