Quern stones, water and even the personage of the miller have been imbued over time with a supernatural quality. At this event, Sandra Ireland will take a fascinating look into the world of watermills through the lens of traditional tales, folk belief and superstition. A perfect opportunity to think about the stories you could tell from your own mill! More about the working group:A group of interested individuals and organisations (including Heritage Trust Network and SPAB Scotland) have come together to explore how people and organisations working with mills could be better connected with each other and help keep these buildings, skills and mill cultures alive and accessible.We intend to keep online meetings informal and free of charge but as this venture is being facilitated by the Heritage Trust Network, you may wish to consider joining.
