PAPER MILL

"Manufacture of Paper: Was 1st introduced into Aberdeen about the year 1696, by Patrick Sandilands of Cotton, who Constructed a Mill at Gordon's-mills, about 2-miles from the Town. He Manufactured Paper, of all sorts, for several years; but how long this work continued we have not been informed. Previous to this time, the Paper used in the Town was generally Imported from Holland, & continued to be so for many years afterwards. Some 300-yrs ago when Patrick Sandilands, an Elder of Old Machar Church in Aberdeen, started making Paper by hand in 1696, just 4-yrs after the Massacre of Glencoe. At Gordon's Mill on the River Don, Sandilands used Rags as the Fibrous material, to be cleaned, pulped, diluted & processed quite ingeniously till there was just Wet Paper, ready to be dried in a Loft. But his Venture Failed & the Mill went over to Cloth-making."
