Barry Mill wins 3 years of funding
Following up on one of our earlier posts, Barry Mill to fight NTS closure announcement, where we noted the announcement of the planned closure of various NTS (National Trust for Scotland) properties, and staff cuts intended to reduce operating costs, we’ve received a note regarding Barry Mill, with news of a successful campaign to fight the proposed closure:
Good news from Barry Mill. The campaign to keep it open has been successful. With funding secured and agreement from NTS for at least 3 more years of operation. It just goes to prove that people can make a difference.
Friends of Barry Mill have organised a host of events and supported the Mill in every way possible. This of course has been only the first step and the real work to ensure a permanent future is on. The Mill and its grounds are an incredible resource that are too valuable to lose.
Now Friends of Barry Mill will look to build on the success of events such as the Easter Duck Races, National Mills Open Day in May and Music at the Mill in July, we will be announcing a full year long programme of events soon. Still to come this year will be the Vintage Steam Rally on August the 30th and a Spooky Halloween event. The event we are looking forward to the most though is a celebratory party that will build on the success of the Mill as a music venue. This will be on Sunday the 9th of August and it will be free to the public and everyone is welcome to bring a picnic and enjoy the music. (contact: friendsofbarrymill@googlemail.com)
This could become Scotland’s best secret music venue.
Thanks to bothygalloch for the update and details.

About
Secret Scotland aims to provide a common resource where secret, hidden or otherwise notable Points of Interest around Scotland may be recorded and shared, and is modelled after the class-leading Wikipedia format.
There are four resources available to help with this aim:
- The Secret Wiki where anyone may create and save pages.
- Our Forum where the site content may be discussed.
- Our Blog, where news, announcements and items that don’t require or merit their own page can be posted.
- Our Flickr Group where pictures of interesting sites may be shared.
By secret or hidden, we’re really just referring to anything that might be described as lost, unknown, uninvestigated, unexplained, undiscovered, unexplored, forgotten, undisclosed, underground, subterranean, camouflaged, disguised, suppressed, or similar. In simple terms, it could just be something (or somewhere) that’s just a bit out of the ordinary, and might not be noticed if not highlighted. As inspiration, these are a few of the existing Categories :
