Scope and Content Former Lochindaal Distillery, Port Charlotte, Islay, Argyll This Islay Malt whisky distillery was founded in 1829 by Colin Campbell. It had a complex history of ownership, and was eventually acquired in 1929, when it was owned by Benmore Distilleries Ltd, by the Distillers' Co Ltd, who closed it. This view shows the entrance to one of the blocks of warehouses retained after 1929. This has a double door with licensee's and excise locks. The handrails on the platform in front could be removed for handling casks. After closure in 1929 the DCL retained the warehouses for maturing spirit made in their other Islay distilleries, until the 1980s. The warehouse in this view was then converted for use by the local community. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
