|  | | | Smith Anderson & Co had been making paper at it's Fettykill (or perhaps Fettykil) mill since 1859. From the start, the company specialised in paper bags and packaging - Charles Anderson himself invented an automated paper bag making machine.
In 2006, the papermaking business went into receivership - the parent company still makes packaging, but they don't make thier own paper any more, so the Fettykill mill stands empty. It had been the only Scottish mill which used purely recycled paper - no virgin pulp.
First up, the power plant.
The mill is old - a mix of old stone and brick.
Then, the heart of the mill, and two giant paper machines - with gigantic Yankee dryers.
As usual, there's a lot more in my Flickr set...
