Scope and Content Knockando Distillery, Knockando, Morayshire (Moray council area) Knockando Distillery was built in 1898 by the Knockando-Glenlivet Distillery Co at the end of the 1890s distillery boom. It was situated beside the Great North of Scotland Railway's Strathspey line. In 1904 it was bought by W and A Gilbey Ltd. This view shows part of the original range of maturing warehouses, situated next to a loading bank on a siding from the railway. The steps on the left are a recent addition. Note the hand crane for loading and unloading railway wagons. Gilbeys became part of International Distillers and Vintners, which was absorbed by United Distillers in 1997. Knockando is a focal point for marketing, and the base for a whisky-tasting school. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
