Our History
A Long History of Milling
There has been a history of milling on the Kelso Mill site since 1118. This coincides with the founding of Kelso Abbey in the 1100s.
The Abbey owned the mill until the 16th century.
Part of the old mill exists today as an archway allowing water to flow through the mill lade.
John Hogarth took over the tenancy in 1901 and died in 1907.
His trustees continued the business before Robert Rae Hogarth became the sole partner in 1925.
John Hogarth was incorporated in 1935 and the mill was purchased from the Duke of Roxburghe in 1946.
