Folkerton Mill Full Description
Folkerton Mill is a grade B listed grain mill and records suggest that a Mill has been on its South Lanarkshire site since the 1700s, with the most recent collection of beautifully crafted stone buildings built in 1871. The Mill was working as recently as the 1970s and the large cast iron water wheel is still intact and visible on the side of the Mill from the garden. So much of the physical history of the Mill still remains, its as if the Miller switched off the machinery one day, hung up his tools, closed the door and never came back. Tin cans and tools still hang on the wooden pillars that support beams, the leather grain belt still remains on the pulley system and the large iron cogs that were driven by the wheel are still in place in the wheel house. We have been careful to leave everything as it was, taking nothing away and working around the history, resulting in a genuinely unique and intimate space in which to have your celebration. To preserve the soul of this special building, Folkerton Mill will be exclusively available just a handful of times each year. We don't plan on becoming a wedding factory where you are shipped in and shipped out! We want you to enjoy your day to it's fullest and allow you time to relax and really enjoy the days celebrations with your family and friends.

We will never forget our special day in the most special place!
We knew Scotland was a magic place but in the morning who would have thought we would have tied the knot in the sunlight. Magic did happen in the sky but also because you guys worked so hard from the morning to night and never stopped smiling. We will never forget our special day in the very special place that is Folkerton Mill. A place made unique by its old stone walls and history but mainly thanks to its two amazing owners. All the love from France, Antoine and Ludivine xx

Folkerton Mill was love at first sight for us!
Folkerton Mill was love at first sight for us! We loved the personal feel and the gorgeous grounds. Scott and Penny made us feel really reassured about everything, they were just so lovely throughout the planning and the day itself. Folkerton Mill is so unique. Folkerton Mill is a unique bespoke venue for couples that want an intimate feeling wedding. There's something so special about the history of the place, and the dedication Scott and Penny put in for each wedding they host.

Penny, Scott and Staff made our dream come true!
Penny, Scott and Staff made our dream come true with their warm, positive approach and would bend over backwards for you. This is Penny and Scott's passion and what you see is what you get and you will feel like one of the family come the big day. They are welcoming, accommodating and will be there throughout the big day ensuring it is exactly as you desired. However when doing this, it feels like they just blend in and that it's just you and the party there.
