The Sawmill

The Sawmill (originally referred to as The Dairy), a 2-storey, 3-bay building with an advanced and pedimented centre bay, built of red sandstone with a piended roof. was converted by Cambo Institute’s ‘Cambo Green Team’ to form their base and funding has been acquired for solar panels and a composting toilet.

It is now being transformed to become one of the few ‘Men’s Sheds’ in Scotland as wood-turning machinery and tools are installed. Men’s Sheds have a similar ethos to a Green Gym.

A Volunteer Support Grant of £7,500 has been awarded for therapeutic woodwork groups which will take place in the sawmill and £1750 has been awared for the supply of equipment for helpers and hire of workshop.

The Cambo Green Team, under the guidance of Woodland Educator, Jon Warnes, meet every Wednesday at Cambo Sawmill and a lift is available from St. Andrews.

Tea /coffee are provided and people are advised to wear outdoor working clothes. Get in touch if you want to join in!
