Scope and Content Mains Maltings, Linlithgow, West Lothian This complex was founded in 1795 by William Glen as Mains Distillery, a lowland malt whisky distillery. This was disused by 1854, but was subsequently acquired by Aitken's Brewery, Falkirk for its maltings, and much extended. This view shows the complex from the west, with the original distillery maltings and associated housing to the left, and the four-storey block added by Aitkens on the right. The maltings closed, with the Falkirk brewery, in the mid 1960s, and the site lay empty until c1980, when much of it was demolished, part of the old distillery being retained and converted into housing as part of the development of the site for housing.
