National Trust for Scotland Chief Executive Kate Mavor said:
“Barry Mill is a wonderful property and we are very pleased that we are now in a position to keep it open to the public. It’s an important part of the industrial heritage of Scotland. The Trust is very grateful to Angus Council and the communities and individuals who have pledged support to the mill, helping to secure its future. We hope that people will continue to support Barry Mill and our charity, by visiting our properties, becoming members and volunteers and supporting our appeals. We need everyone’s support to succeed.”
