Scope and Content Glenfarclas Distillery, Ballindalloch, Banffshire This distillery was founded in 1836 by a farmer, Robert Hay. It was eventually acquired by the Grant family, who formed a limited company with Pattison Elder and Co in 1895, which rebuilt it. Pattisons collapsed in 1898, and the Grants again took over. This view shows part of the traditional warehouses, probably part of the 1895-6 rebuilding, with a row of hogheads waiting to be loaded into the lorry on the left. Note the rails provided for rolling the casks, a common feature of traditional distilleries In this type of warehouse three or four tiers of casks were stored, with wooden planks separating the tiers. This 'dunnage' system was in 1980 being supplanted by racked warehouses with casks stored ten or more high, with mechanical access. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
