List, of paper mills in Scotland
Add to album

This paper list, published in April 1832, records the existing paper mills in Scotland at that time. The list was published by Oliver & Boyd of Edinburgh and Robert Weir of Glasgow.

The information recorded includes locations, makers' names, number of machines, type of paper made, and where the makers resided.

Although the paper-making industry was concentrated in Midlothian to meet the demands of the Edinburgh printers, it also thrived in Fife and Aberdeenshire. By 1850, Stoneywood Mill in Aberdeenshire was employing 1,000 people.
