Nairn
1897 A new distillery, taking the place of a disused meal mill, was opened in Nairn, trading as the Glen Cawdor Distillery Company. It showed confidence in the continued expansion of the whisky industry, especially on Speyside. The new distillery was built to the design of the renowned architect Charles C. Doig.[1]
1901 By now it was clear, especially in the wake of the Pattison crash, that the whisky boom was over. Two of the three original partners withdrew from the business, leaving it in the hands of David McAndie.[2]. An attempted sale at auction the following year at an upset price of £10,500 attracted no offers.[3]
1903 The distillery was sold to John Haig and Co of Markinch for a price estimated between £6,000 and £7,000.[4] Haigs ran the distillery until closure in 1927.
