context_page_description: This is an article about the 3 main paper mills in Aberdeen, Scotland.
context_section_description: The Donside Paper Mill was paper mill in Aberdeen, shortly to the north of Old Aberdeen and the Tillydrone area, by the River Don. Since its closure in 2001 (with the loss of approximately 250 jobs), all the mill buildings have been cleared, and the site has been redeveloped as an "urban village"
  The mill was developed to produce off-machine coated grades of paper. Principle grades were label (one sided coated), gloss art (two sided, single and double coated) and matt art (two sided single and double coated).
  In 2016 a hydro electric turbine was installed on the site by Aberdeen Community Energy (www.acenegy.org.uk). The installation revealed an old lade which had previously delivered water to the paper mill.
