A MILL and wool centre on Grimsay is to receive £90,000 from Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE).
Uist Wool was awarded the grant to help it develop into a trading social enterprise. The company spins a range of yarns for knitting and weaving using local fleece.
Uist Wool has already raised more than £1 million in public and private funds to build the mill and centre, acquire and refurbish heritage spinning machinery and train staff.
