Scope and Content Banff Distillery, Banffshire (Aberdeenshire council rea) This distillery replaced an earlier one of the same name, and was built by James Simpson Jnr.. It was burned down in 1877, and rebuilt. In 1932 James Simpson and Sons Ltd were liquidated and the distillery was bought by Scottish Malt Distillers. This view shows the exterior of the stillhouse, with the condensers used to turn the vapours from the stills into liquid. The one on the right was for the wash still. This distillery was one of a number of smaller distilleries closed in 1983 by Scottish Malt Distillers as a result of a downturn in the demand for Scotch whisky. Unlike some of the others it was demolished soon after. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
