Scope and Content Glenkinchie Distillery, near Pencaitland, East Lothian This Lowland Malt distillery was founded in 1837 by John and George Rate, but was disused from 1853 to 1880, when it was revived, and largely rebuilt, by the Glen Kinchie Distillery Co. It became part of Scottish Malt Distillers in 1914. This view shows a section of the museum at Glenkinchie as it was in 1980, with a set of the copper chains and drive arms of a rummager, used inside a coal-fired (or other flame-heated) wash still to prevent sticky deposits on the still bottom. Glenkinchie remains in the ownership of the successors to Scottish Malt Distillers, United Distillers and Vintners, and is in 2001 the only Lowland Malt Distillery in regular production. It has a fine visitor centre and small museum. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
