Scope and Content Former Lochindaal Distillery, Port Charlotte, Islay, Argyll (Argyll and Bute council area) 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 former maltings of the distillery, unusually for Islay built of brick. In 1980 these buildings were the Islay Creamery, processing local milk to make dairy products for local consumption, and Islay Cheese for shipment to the mainland. After closure in 1929 the DCL retained the warehouses for maturing spirit made in their other Islay distilleries, until the 1980s. The warehouse on the left in this view was then converted for use by the local community. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
