Scope and Content James Buchanan & Co Ltd, Nos 30-46 Washington Street, Glasgow This warehouse was built in two stages. The northern six bays were built in 1897-8 for W P Lowrie & Co to designs by A Gardner, architect, and the rest was added, to a similar design by H E Clifford, in 1906, for Buchanan & Co. This shows the warehouse from the south east. The section nearest to the camera is the 1906 extension, with the offices on the left. The warehouse was built for the blending and bottling of James Buchanan and Co's Black and White Scotch whisky, and was still used for that purpose in 1965. Lowries was the firm used by Buchanans to blend their whisky, and was eventually taken over by them. Buchanans were taken over in 1925 by the Distillers' Co Ltd. This warehouse is now used by a firm offering small-scale warehouse units for short-term use. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
