Scope and Content Deanston Mills (now Deanston Distillery), Stirling This village was founded in 1785 by the Buchanan family to spin cotton by water-power, using Richard Arkwright's package of processes. The mills were eventually taken over in 1808 by James Finlay & Co, who continued cotton manufacture there until 1965. This shows the semi-basement and ground floor of the mill added in about 1828 under the supervision of James Smith, the manager, a noted innovator. The quality of the design and workmanship is outstanding. After the end of cotton manufacture in 1965 this semi-basement and first floor of the mill were converted into a malt whisky distillery, as Deanston Distillery, This has passed through various hands, and is still operating.
