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 main street in the village, laid out along a single street parallel to the new lade constructed in the late 1820s. On the left is the village school, and beyond it the main ranges of housing. The housing on the right is unusual in having external stairs to the first floor. After the end of cotton manufacture in 1965 the 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. The housing is now in individual ownership. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
