Brand Info:
Glen Albyn

.
Glen Albyn was founded in Inverness on the site of a ruined brewery / malt kiln in 1846 by James Sutherland, a local landowner and Mayor of the town.  Work was completed and the license awarded in 1847, but the distillery ran into difficulties (including a fire in 1849 which necessitated rebuilding work for around a year) and fell silent in 1855.  It was put up for sale, but no buyer was ever found and finally it was converted into a flour mill in 1866. A new Glen Albyn was built in 1883-84 by Gregory & Co., but it is uncertain if this was on the same site as the original distillery buildings.  The new distillery was on the south bank of the canal and also had its own railway line connected to the main Highland Railway.  It was quite advanced for the times and was equipped with all the latest technology, garnering enthusiastic praise from Alfred Barnard when he visited in 1885-86.
