Scope and Content Mill room, malt deposit room and malt kiln from east, Brora Distillery, Clynelish Road, Brora, Highland Clynelish Distillery was established in 1819 by the Marquess of Stafford who had married the heiress of the Sutherland estate. After passing through various owners the site was reconstructed in 1896 under the management of James Ainslie & Co. It was 'silent' 1931-9, and renamed 'Brora Distillery' when a new Clynelish Distillery opened nearby in 1969. This distillery closed in 1983. This shows the stone buildings used for storing, grinding and drying malt after it has been allowed to germinate in the maltings. Ladders and high doorways allow access to the upper floors, whilst corrugated iron dormers hide grain elevators and the pagoda roof of the malt kiln provides ventilation. Metal buttresses (right) support the walls of the store. The founder, the Marquess of Stafford, had Clynelish Distillery built to provide a market for his tenant farmers' grain, to prevent them from selling it to smugglers or using it for illicit distilling. Pigs in an adjacent piggery were fed on the spent grains from the distillery, and provided valuable manure for the surrounding farmers' lands. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
