Paper mills of Aberdeen


This is an article about the 3 main paper mills in Aberdeen, Scotland.

Donside Paper Mill

The Donside Paper Mill was paper mill in Aberdeen, shortly to the north of Old Aberdeen and the Tillydrone area, by the River Don. Since its closure in 2001, all the mill buildings have been cleared, and the site has been redeveloped as an "urban village"
The mill was developed to produce off-machine coated grades of paper. Principle grades were label, gloss art and matt art.
In 2016 a hydro electric turbine was installed on the site by Aberdeen Community Energy. The installation revealed an old lade which had previously delivered water to the paper mill.

Davidson Mill

Davidson Mill was a paper mill in the Mugiemoss area of Aberdeen. It closed in June 2005.

Stoneywood Paper Mill

Stoneywood Paper Mill is a paper mill still functioning in Aberdeen. It was established in 1710 by James Moir. It is now the only remaining paper mill on the river Don. After entering administration in January 2019, the Stoneywood Paper Mill survived after a management buyout by Creative Paper Holdings Ltd. in September 2019.
