Sawmill Keith

[renewablejohn]

Anybody around Keith (Scotland) aware of a sawmill for sale or premises suitable for sawmill. Looking at an estate but logistics dont stack up at the moment

The Rosebery Estate have the old Sawmill at Rosebery available last time I checked (which was a little while ago I must admit). It's in Midlothian, perhaps about 25 miles from Keith.

 

Are you moving up to this neck of the woods?

Still keeping base in Lancs but daughter looking to move to Scotland to run woodland estate if it all stacks up which it is not doing at the moment.

I think the old Sawmill at Rosebery is now multiple craft units so is not on the market but thanks for the thought.

Advice needed. Am I just being picky or would the logistics of maintaining so many small packets be self defeating.

The intention would be to put in a small CHP plant just North of Keith which would require approx 20 tonnes timber per day.

Haha, just realised that you meant the place Keith, rather than the Woodmizer Agent Keith Threadgall. It was a very long and tiring day yesterday!

 

I think you might be right in terms of management. It's funny - I looked at that schedule (out of curiosity, I like to keep an eye on estate and woodland sales oop north) the other day. It's a vast parcel of woodland that would be a lot to manage on one site, but with it strewn across such an area could be tricky.
