Quendale Mill
During the time the Mill was in operation, crofters brought their Oats and Bere by horse and cart to the Mill to be processed into meal for eventual use in the production of Oatmeal and Beremeal bannocks – a staple diet for Shetlanders at the time. Once roads had been improved to allow vehicular transport, crofters from as far afield as Scalloway and Whiteness also joined the others in bringing their grain crops to the Mill for processing.
Today the Mill is completely renovated and restored with help from the Shetland Amenity Trust. It has been operated by The South Mainland Community History Group as a visitor attraction since 1993. It is a Category A listed building (LB5417 Link Historic Environment Scotland).
