Strathaven Town Mill
ARTS AND HERITAGE CENTRE
The Town Mill exists to support the community of Strathaven and the surrounding areas by offering rooms and halls to hire for events, functions and exhibitions. Both the Granary and the Town Mill are run by volunteers who maintain it and also staff it during events.
Known throughout the county for years as the focal point for community gatherings and particularly musical events and exhibitions, it has had many uses throughout its life, even housing the local tourist information office for a short time.
Strathaven Town Mill was built in the 17th century in the shadow of Strathaven Castle, another well known historic landmark.
