of 1 Leopold Place, Edinburgh

1946 Ronald Morrison and Company Limited was registered as a private company, with capital of £1,000, to carry on business as wine and spirit importers and exporters, manufacturers, merchants, tobacco manufacturers and merchants, brewers, distillers, and hotel proprietors.[1]

1947 Ronald Morrison formulated a new Scotch whisky-based liqueur, Glayva Scotch Liqueur.

1984 The company was bought by Invergordon Distillers for £232,500 in cash, a modest price partly explained by the fact that Invergordon were already making Glayva for Morrison. Morrison had little in the way of physical assets to acquire and Invergordon were, in effect, buying the brand.[2]
