    Post Gairie Linen Works - Angus

    Hello guys,

    This is quite a nice Urbox we found while just messing around where we live.
    The factory is now only half used , Half is unused and used for storage whereas there is half of it still working today.

    We had a few problems with access and nearly getting caught.
    Heres some info.

    Garie Mill, late 19th century. A group of snecked-rubble buildings, consisting of a 2-storey, 2- by 4-bay office block, a 2-storey, 18-bay finishing block, 8 bays of north-light weaving sheds, and single-storey stores and other ancillary blocks, some brick built. There are two engine-houses, one of which, until c. 1970, housed a Douglas and grant tandem-compound, drop-valve engine of 1916. There is a tall circular-section brick chimney. Some interesting machinery, including narrow jute looms and calendars and mangles.
    J R Hume 1977.

    This factory was built as a linen works in about 1873-4 by John Ogilvy, and is situated next to the Gairie Burn to the S of the town centre. It grew to specialise in jute weaving, and was eventually taken over by the neighbouring company of J and D Wilkie.
