Otterburn Mill is now a shop selling outdoor, country and lifestyle clothing for men, women and children.
(Waddell, the son of a Jedburgh wool manufacturer, had recently arrived in the area having eloped across the border from Scotland with his young bride, Charlotte Ferrier).

In the twentieth century, Otterburn Mill became 'a brand leader in woven cloths';[4] its distinctive tweeds were used by some of the leading fashion houses of Europe, including Dior, Balmain, Schiaparelli and Paquin.
Twenty years later John Waddell sold the buildings to Euan Pringle; they were converted into a shop selling outdoor and country clothing, with historic machinery and other items retained for display.
