Bristol Mill on the North Eastern end of Galashiels, Scotland, was a wool mill first built in 1885. Throughout the 20th century the mill changed owners but always used for wool and yarn until it finally closed in 1998. Tweed wool was a huge industry for the area and so really helped to generate massive income for the area. Sadly these Mills like most industry in the UK declined due to cheaper alternatives abroad.
Access is very simple and the mill in general is in pretty good nick! There's one very dodgy ladder to get you from the ground floor to the first floor and a few rotten steps in staircases but overall its a beautiful building with some very lovely features
