The distillery was built in the 1820s by Donald and Alex Johnston whose family name is still on the label. In 1847 Donald died two days after falling into a vat of partially-made whisky ("Burnt Ale"). There were no doubt more raised eyebrows when in the late 1950s and early 1960s the distillery was owned by a woman, Miss Bessie Williamson. |
