Scope and Content Glencadam Distillery, Brechin, Angus (Angus council area) This distillery was founded under the provisions of the 1823 Act passed to encourage small-scale distillation. It passed through a number of hand before being acquired in 1954 by Hiram Walker and Sons (Scotland ) Ltd, who rebuilt it in 1959. This view shows the interior of the boiler house, with the package 'economic' oil-fired boiler which supplied steam for heating the mash water, the stills, and for space heating. This type of boiler, in various sizes, was common in the industry in 1980. This distillery now belongs to Allied Distillers, successors to Hiram Walker, who closed it in 2000. Hiram Walker's 1959 rebuild may have improved efficiency, but did not improve the appearance of the complex. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
