Ok, how about a brief history in time about the bindery and its buildings. The buildings were built around the beginning of the 20th century and were originally constructed as farm buildings, comprising a farm cottage and barn/cow shed.
Over time the barn has been converted over to many uses and has in the past been home to businesses making amongst other things rocking horses and pottery.
The bindery took over the buildings in 1987 and the main building has since been extended to accommodate the growing need for space.
The office and display areas make use of the old farm cottage.
When first built, the farm buildings were surrounded by open fields but over time they have been enclosed by the rest of the village.

Day 1

We are often described as a hidden treasure in the centre of Scotland. A hive of activity that not even most of the local residents know exist.
We have been busily working away in the our bindery for nearly 30 years producing a wide variety of bookbinding services to customers across the world. From that unique personal object to the repair of a whole library collection our services are open to all to use.
Through this blog we hope to highlight our activities and shed some light on some of the more unusual projects that we are asked to carry out.
