This award winning contemporary conversion of a 210 year old bobbin mill building offers luxury accommodation for up to eight people on the banks of the River Earn in Comrie, Scotland.
The existing building, barely surviving in a state of disrepair and continual neglect, was purchased back in 1998 with a view to creating a distinctive retreat for enjoying this stunning corner of Scotland. The building is Grade B listed by the Historic Scotland Preservation Trust and was originally used to manufacture wooden bobbins for the one time thriving local textile industry.
The building was carefully disemboweled and a new series of floors and spaces carefully inserted to provide three levels of flexible, spacious accommodation.
A new cedar clad entrance porch and access ramp have been added to the front of the building creating a distinctive new face and identity to the original mill.
New large openings puncture the thick stone walls, framing views and capturing light. Second hand slate, local stone, veneered plywood and white plaster walls create a clean modern feel to the building A small group of local craftsmen painstakingly completed the transformation over a period of eleven months.
The Bobbin Mill won a Civic Trust Award in March 2001, was included in the recent Scotsman newspaper publication Scotland's100 Best New Buildings.
