Recent Progress and Open Days

After three and a half years of surveys, discussions, and legal negotiations, the Garlogie Beam Engine Trust signed a 99-year lease with Aberdeenshire Council for possession of the site on 21st July 2023. We are busy repairing and maintaining everything with the ultimate aim of operating both the Beam Engine  and the Hydro-electric equipment, although this will take considerable time and effort!

We have scheduled Public opening days from 11am to 4pm on the last Sunday of each month from April to August 2025 (dates below). Why not come along, say hello and let us show you what is hidden behind these walls. We think you will be surprised by what you find.

and in September we will be open for the Aberdeenshire Doors Open Day: Saturday 20th – Sunday 21st September 2025 to show visitors around. Opening hours are 10am – 4pm. Teas and refreshments will be available.

Please keep an eye on this page for future events and activities. We will post photos and videos of how we are progressing on a regular basis here and on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/garlogie.engine  .
