(Location cited as NC 897 054). Clynelish Distillery, founded 1819 by the Sutherland Estate, and enlarged in 1896 by Ainslie and Co. The chimney, fine malt kiln and malting floors probably date from the rebuilding, but much of the original structure apparently survives within the complex.
J R Hume 1977.
