Scope and Content Former Lochindaal Distillery, Port Charlotte, Islay, Argyll This was an Islay Malt whisky distillery, founded in 1829 by Colin Campbell, but developed principally by the Sherriff family. It was acquired in 1929 by The Distillers' Company Ltd, and partly dismantled in that year. This view shows the remains of the productive buildings of the distillery, with the former stillhouse etc on the left, and the maltings on the hill above. Though the kiln was roofless, the malting range was used by the Islay Creamery in 1976. The distillery was, like the other Islay distilleries, built to be served by sea though it did not have its own pier, using the pier built to serve the model village of Port Charlotte.
