\"\"<\/a>A former major textiles mill site in Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders, which sold cashmere around the globe under the Ballantyne brand has been described as being \u2018suitable for a variety of commercial uses or residential development\u2019, is being put up for sale, writes The Herald.<\/em><\/h3>\n

\u2026 four-floor mill building was constructed in 1788\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u2026 retained buildings were B-listed\u2026<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Herald <\/em>writes:<\/p>\n

The former mill\u00a0sold cashmere around the globe under the Ballantyne brand.<\/p>\n

Shepherd Chartered Surveyors, which is bringing the Brodies Mill and outbuildings to market, noted they were “on a self-contained 0.9-acre regeneration site”.<\/p>\n

The four-floor mill building was constructed in 1788 by Alexander Brodie and was subsequently added to in a piecemeal fashion over the 19th and 20th centuries, to become Caerlee Mill, Innerleithen\u2019s largest employer making and selling cashmere around the\u00a0world<\/a> under the Ballantyne brand.<\/p>\n

Shepherd said: “Following the Caerlee Mill site\u2019s final closure in 2013, a number of later additions were recently demolished to create the adjacent residential site….”<\/p>\n

It noted the retained buildings were B-listed and “lie centrally located within Innerleithen and a short walk from the town centre”.<\/p>\n

Whiteburn\u2019s managing director, Eve McCurrich, said: \u201cWe have had preliminary discussions with a number of interested parties, including a mountain bike innovation centre, and are now ready to see a viable and complementary use emerge for these buildings, compatible with the character of our Caerlee development as well as the village of Innerleithen….\u201d<\/p>\n
