Scope and Content Pyroligneous Acid Works, No 100 Camlachie Street, Glasgow This works was established in about 1813 by Turnbull & Ramsay, printers' colour makers. The printers they were supplying were calico printers, and as well as selling natural dyestuffs they also made mordants, used to fix the dyes on the cloth. This view shows the works after the plant had been removed. The building on the right was used for grinding by-product charcoal to make iron-founders' blacking. The chimney provided draught for the stills used in pyroligneous acid manufacture. Pyroligneous acid manufacture involved heating wood in closed retorts to make crude acetic acid. This works made some, but also processed acid made in country works in the west of Scotland and in Ireland. It closed in 1967 and was demolished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
