MILLING MATTERS – THE CHALLENGE OF SAVING ROSEFIELD MILLS

Luke Moloney, Chair of the Dumfries Historic Buildings Trust, will present the background to the Rosefield Mills project and explain further the Trust’s vision for breathing new life back into a small section of this vast complex of former textile mill buildings.

Dumfries Historic Buildings Trust purchased the Rosefield Mills riverfront building in 2018 thanks to the support of the community through their engagement in consultations, volunteering, and donations.

This event is part of Milling Matters – Four Fabulous Lectures, which are being held in the run-up to National Mills Weekend.  These events are being hosted jointly by SPAB Scotland and Perth and Kinross Heritage Trust as a preamble to their flagship event to be held in Perth Lower City Mills on 7/8 May 2022 – Scottish Mills Weekend.
