1875 Between 1875 and 1900, the company operated Auchentoshan Distillery.
1910 Following the retirement from the business of William Hamlyn Curtis, the firm was amalgamated with that of Gilmour Thomson and Co, a Glasgow firm who were whisky merchants and the proprietors of the Glencadam Distillery in Brechin.
