Object:
The former Garlogie Mill houses a rare early beam engine and hydroelectric power plant, is leased by the Garlogie Beam Engine Trust, and is the focus of the organisation’s activities. The purpose of the organisation is to advance industrial heritage, inform and educate on the engineering science of the design and operation of these artefacts, advance knowledge of local social history and benefit the local community. It will do this by developing the site as a museum and making the Garlogie Beam engine, turbine house and associated buildings and mill site accessible to the public. The organisation will undertake whatever preservation and restoration is necessary and appropriate in order to enhance the value of the buildings and artefacts as engineering and historic monuments. The Trust will also acquire and curate additional exhibits to further illustrate to the story of the site and the people that worked there.
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
We are working to conserve and restore the 1805 beam engine and listed building to create a museum focussed on the development of power sources through the industrial revolution, the textile industry in Aberdeenshire and social history of those who worked in the former mill. The work to conserve and restore the engine is volunteer led whereas the work to repair the fabric of the buildings will be done by qualified building contractors. We are presently seeking grant money towards these major works. Although the conservation restoration is work in progress, we ran several open days in 2025 which were well attended by the public.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
