Auchintoshan Distillery
Visited and photographed by J R Hume, University of Strathclyde, 1970, 1975.
Information from NMRS MS/749 (Dunbartonshire, Old Kilpatrick parish, Auchemtoshan Distillery), photographic prints attached of general view and view of pot still and worm of c.1830 Hume index H75/2/1-5 (negatives with reporter, J R Hume).
(Location cited as NS478726) Auchentoshan Distillery (also known as Auchentoshan and probably the same as the distillery referred to as Duntocher) was said to have been founded in c.1800 and between 1830 and 1964 it had had about nine owners. The Distillery was sold in 1974 to Eadie Cairns Limited and was re-equipped. Auchentoshan has three stills (triple distillation). The steam engine has been preserved and the distillery was still in operation in 1980.

Desk Based Assessment (2012)
CFA Archaeology Ltd undertook an assessment of the cultural heritage implications of the proposed route of a replacement overhead line (XF Route) from Neilston, Renfrewshire to Windyhill, East Dunbartonshire.
Although 109 cultural heritage features were identified by the desk-based assessment of the 250m buffer around the proposed route of the replacement XF overhead line, very few of these lie along the route of the line, or in immediate vicinity of the location of any of the towers.
The overhead line replacement project has been assessed against the cultural heritage baseline. Taking into account the construction methodology to be employed and agreed mitigation strategy, it is considered that the development conforms to Local and National Policy relating to the cultural heritage resource.
