Balblair distillery off Station Road, Edderton, officially dates back to 1790 (but was distilling before then): in 1846, it was recorded that it consumed 120 bushels of malt weekly, producing 240 gallons of whisky, of very high repute.[4] The distillery and village were served by the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway from 1864 until Edderton railway station closed in 1960.
