History

Glen Mhor distillery was built in 1892 by John Birnie and Charles Mackinlay, It was located between the Caledonian Canal and the railway.[1]

In 1920, Mackinlay & Birnie bought Glen Albyn and in 1972 it was acquired by The Distillery Company Ltd.[2]

Unlike many others distilleries, it remained water-powered until the 1950s. It had Saladin maltings installed in 1954.[3]

The distillery was closed in 1983 because of falling whisky demand.[2][4] It was demolished in 1986.[2]
