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 sweet or savoury from our menu whilst you browse the books or ponder a purchase. Our music section stocks CDs and sheet music.
In our art gallery we hold regular exhibitions. Our current exhibition is Modern Print Masters featuring more than 50 works by artists ranging from Picasso to Matisse and Paolozzi to Frost.
Next door is Homer, our homeware shop, where you will find an inspiring collection of decorative accessories and essential items for your home and unique pieces of vintage furniture. We recently opened a new branch of Homer in Edinburgh at 8 Howe Street EH3 6TD (in the New Town).
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
