Scope and Content Still house, filling store and duty free warehouses from south, Glengarioch Distillery, Distillery Road, Old Meldrum, Aberdeenshire Glengarioch Distillery was established in 1797 by Ingram, Lamb & Co. It changed hands several times before closing in 1968. It re-opened in 1970 after being purchased by Stanley P Morrison, and the number of stills was increased from two to three in 1973. After being mothballed in 1995 it re-opened in 1997. This shows, from right to left, the pagoda vents of the two malt kilns, the still house with its arched windows and copper pot stills just visible within, and the long warehouses and filling store where the finished spirit is put into casks and matured. This distillery once used the heat and carbon dioxide produced during distillation to warm greenhouses for growing tomatoes and flowers in plastic nutrition bags containing soil and fertilizer. Most distilleries sell their waste products from brewing and distilling for cattle feed. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
