Scope and Content Imperial Distillery, Morayshire This Scotch malt whisky distillery was built in 1897, towards the end of the whisky boom of the 1890s, and was closed from 1899 to 1919 and from 1925 to 1955, when it was rebuilt by Scottish Malt Distillers, who enlarged it in 1965. This view shows the warehouses and office built in 1897, which survived the 1955 and 1965 rebuilding of the main production buildings. Note the platform ends of the former Carron Station. Imperial was opened in the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, hence the name. As built the malt kiln had an imperial crown in cast iron on top of the ventilator.
