Open 9.30- 3.30 daily until october
This is a working water mill where they stone grind flour which they use to make their delicious baking and flour. There is a bakery tearoom which is fairly small but there is a tea garden where you can sit outside and enjoy the view. We would highly recommend stopping by in the morning for fresh warm bread and then returning in the afternoon for cake. Their chocolate cake is our recommendation, which is deliciously moist. As you drive into Blair Atholl from the house the mill is signposted to the right, you drive over the railway line and park in the large car park on the left.

If you park in the house of Bruar carpark you will see the signs to falls of Bruar. This is a 45 beautiful minute walk up along the river crossing 2 bridges. You walk along the right hand side of House of Braur to start the walk. The walk to the main tallest fall is quite steep but well worth it, alternatively the view above can be seen from the bottom bridge with easy access.
