Scope and Content Adelphi (Loch Katrine) Distillery, No 4 Inverkip Street, Glasgow This distillery was established in 1825 by C & D Gray to distil malt whisky. They converted it after 1851 to make both malt and grain whisky using continuous stills, and sold it in the 1880s to A Walker & Co who in turn sold it in 1907 to The Distillers' Co Ltd, who promptly closed it down. This shows the complex from the south, with the tall still house for the continuous stills on the left. The gabled building was a bonded warehouse, and on the right are other warehouses built between 1882 and 1902 to mature whisky distilled in the complex. Though The Distillers' Co Ltd ended distilling here in 1907 they retained the warehousing here, and at No 546 Ballater Street, for maturing whisky distilled elsewhere until the 1960s. The buildings in this view were demolished between 1968 and 1971 as part of the comprehensive redevelopment of the Gorbals. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
