Statement of Interest

This building was built when investment was high in Campbeltown for maturing whiskies. It was used as a distillery until 1925, and then as a warehouse until its closure in the mid 1980's. A photograph of 1989 shows a roof comprised of 2 valley gutters, running back from the main pitch to Lochend Street, piended over NW elevation. Despite being unroofed in 1993, this remains a fine building surviving from Campbeltown's late 19th century prosperity.
