This is a category “A” Listed working waterwheel meal mill museum managed by the Mill of Benholm Project which is a small charity providing work experience in catering and horticulture for adult learners.

Visitors will find the waterwheel turning and the working machinery visible from the viewing galleries.  The site is set up to allow the visiting public to explore the grounds and by reading the interpretation panels discover how water from the burn is directed into the mill pond from where it turns the mill wheel which works each of the machines required to process the oatmeal.

Walks along burn and through gardens.

There are family art/craft/science workshops held in the mill building on Saturday mornings during the summer months.

This C(s) listed building, located in the Victoria and Town Centre Conservation Area, was designed by JM Arthur in 1924 and now houses Airdrie Public Library.  The site and building were largely funded by Andrew Carnegie and Airdrie Savings Bank.  The twin doric columns emphasise the entrance and provide a welcoming feature.  The library contains the Covenanting Standard of East Monklands from the Battle of Bothwell Brig in 1679.

Children's storytelling, quizzes and craft activities will be available.

Set in beautiful gardens close to the centre of Perth, the Museum of The Black Watch is housed in the dramatic Balhousie Castle, a medieval tower house extensively renovated by David Smart in 1864. A visit to the ancestral home of The Black Watch brings this glorious Regiment’s past vibrantly to life, with ten rooms displaying an amazing variety of artefacts illustrating the history of the regiment.

Local storyteller Dolina Wallace will be delighting visitors, young and old with stories, folk tales, and legends of Old Perth. Enjoy the magic of live stories in this wonderful setting. Disabled Access on ground floor. Parking on site or at Bells Sports Centre.

Instead of reading about the tale of Robert Kirk and the Faeries of Aberfoyle, come and experience it for yourself...

The art of storytelling is brought alive as your changeling guide leads you through the ruined church and up the faerie path, through twisted tress to visit the Minister's pine. 

Walk will take around two hours with guide and michievous pixies!
