Scope and Content Brora Distillery, Brora, Sutherland (Highland council area) This distillery was founded in 1819 by the Marquess of Stafford, later first Duke of Sutherland, under the provisions of the Small Stills Act of 1816. In the 1890s whisky boom it was taken over by James Ainslie and Co and John Risk, and rebuilt. This view shows the warehouses constructed after 1896. This is one of the finest ranges of traditional warehouses in Scotland. The ball finials on the gables are unusual. By 1980 these warehouses were maturing whisky from the new Clynelish Distillery. The DCL was merged with Guinness in 1986, the distilling business becoming United Distillers, which in 1997 took over International Distillers and Vintners, the combined business was named United Distillers and Vintners. Brora closed in 1983. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
