The Watermill Bookshop

The Watermill is a unique development, bringing together the largest bookshop in the rural Highlands, contemporary art gallery, music and coffee shop. All this is located in a stunning Grade-A listed former watermill set in Aberfeldy in the beautiful Perthshire Highlands.

The Watermill was opened by Michael Palin in May 2005. In May 2006 we won the award for Scottish Independent Bookshop of the Year. In November 2006 the conversion of The Watermill was runner up to the multi-million pound Perth Concert Hall in the Dundee Institute of Architects Commercial Building Awards.

If you are travelling to or through the Highlands, The Watermill is a ‘must visit’. If you live in Glasgow or Edinburgh, we are within 90 minutes’ drive.

We are open seven days a week, 10am – 5.30pm (open 11am Sunday).

What’s New…What’s On…

Modern Print Masters, 20 September – 10 November – Our range of fifty prints by some of the most sought-after names in 20th century art gives a unique insight into many strands of modern art in Britain and further afield. See gallery.

Best Bookshop says The Scotsman

“Stunning conversion of watermill and voted Scotland’s best independent bookshop last May…The largest bookshop in the rural Highlands (with 5,000 titles), it also has an excellent selection of children’s books. Staff hold five children’s reading groups each Saturday…Put all of that alongside the top-floor art gallery, the excellent range of Scottish interest books, the coffee shop, the spaciousness of the building and the plentiful supply of seats for casual browsers and you’ll realise why owner Kevin Ramage isn’t running scared of the internet.” David Robinson, The Scotsman, 17 April 2007
