Malt whisky distillers, Campbeltown
1830 The distillery was built and by 1837 was trading as David Anderson and Company. The firm changed its name to Glenside Distillery Company and this remained constant while there were frequent changes in the partners behind it. The involvement of the Orr family meant that, for a while, the proprietors were also running the Jura distillery under the firm of J.K.and D. Orr, as well as a commission agency in Glasgow for the sale of whisky, as John K. and Daniel Orr.
1886 Alfred Barnard visited the distillery, at which time production was 70,000 gallons per annum.
1908 The business was incorporated as The Glenside Distillery Company Limited.
1926 The distillery was one of the many that closed in the town at this time.
1930 The company went into voluntary liquidation.
1933 A new company of the same name was incorporated by the whisky blenders Charles Hepburn and Joseph D. Ross of Hepburn and Ross. It is not clear whether this had anything to do with any proposed revival of the distillery.
