The Watermill & Homer, Aberfeldy
Bookshop / Art Gallery / Cafe / Design-led Homeware
UK Independent Bookshop of the Year
Situated in the heart of Aberfeldy, Perthshire, The Watermill is a unique combination of award-winning bookshop, gallery, cafè and design-led homeware, on three floors of a converted oatmeal mill.
The Watermill was opened in 2005 by Michael Palin, less than two years after owners Kevin and Jayne Ramage first viewed the derelict but enchanting listed mill building with the idea of creating a place to pursue a passion for books, music, art and coffee.
The bookshop has the largest range of titles in the Scottish highlands. We were awarded UK Independent Bookshop of the Year on the merit of our variety, customer service and events we host to promote reading.
In the café you can enjoy fine teas and coffee with something from our enticing menu whilst you browse the books or ponder a purchase.
In our art gallery we hold contemporary art exhibitions and an ongoing collection of limited edition prints. View our current exhibition featuring prints by Banksy and other urban artists. In our music section, we stock CDs and sheet music and you can listen to CDs before buying.
Next door is Homer, our homes & gardens shop, where you will find an inspiring collection of furniture, decorative accessories and essential items for your home.
You will find the Watermill in Aberfeldy, in the heart of Highland Perthshire. If you're coming from Glasgow or Edinburgh, you can be here in an hour and a half. See our directions
