Malt whisky distillers, Langholm
1839 The distillery was built by James Kennedy, who was the proprietor until its sale in 1872.
1875 The company of Joseph Twentyman and Co Limited was registered in England and this is how the business appeared in an 1878 directory entry. At the time of Alfred Barnard's visit, the proprietors were given as the Glentarras Distillery Co, with Joseph Twentyman as manager. Also, in an 1886 directory, it was described as Glen-Tarras Distillery Co. Barnard gave a figure of 75,000 gallons for annual output.
1903 By now Glentarras had been bought by Seager, Evans and Co, a London-based gin distiller. The was a strategic move by the company to get into the Scotch whisky market, but this initial venture was not a success. By about the outbreak of the First World War the distillery was inactive and the buildings were demolished in 1930
