Scope and Content Deanston Distillery, near Doune, Perthshire (Stirling council area) This distillery was converted from Deanston Cotton Mill in 1965 by the Deanston Distillery Co Ltd, a subsidiary of its previous owners, James Finlay and Co Ltd. It was sold in 1972 to Invergordon Distillers (Holdings) Ltd. This view shows the exterior of the six-storey building, built in c1827 to spin cotton, and converted in 1965-6 to house the productive plant of the distillery. The tall building to the right houses the dark grains plant for by-product recovery. This distillery now belongs to Burns Stewart and Co plc, who bought it in 1990. It has its own hydro-electric plant and dark grains plant, and some of the warehousing is in a remarkable vaulted weaving shed of 1836. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
