The Watermill & Homer, Aberfeldy

Bookshop / Art Gallery / Cafe / Design-led Homeware 

Watermill Bookshop features on list of 'World's Greatest Bookshops'

The New Yorker has included The Watermill in a book of the '75 Greatest Bookshops in the World'. Our inclusion among bookshops from San Francisco to Venice (via Aberfeldy) came after recomendation from Michael Palin. 

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.

Sunshine and snow

Posted: Sat 14th Jan

Life is good It's a wonderful crisp, sunny, snowy day here at The Watermill. The baristas are working to a soundtrack of mellow jazz and the coffee smells fantastic. People stamp the snow off their boots as they come in and either go down for a cup of something warming or upstairs for a wander through the gallery or set about having a serious browse among the books. A customer is in a comfy chair between the poetry section and Thrillers having a quiet read. Life is good!!
