Details Distillery, in use, depicted on historic OS mapping. Originally the site contained the Craig Mills depicted as corn mills on the 1st edition OS map. By the 2nd edition OS map the Glenglassaugh distillery has taken over the area. It was founded in 1875 by James Moir, Alexander Morrison, William Morrison and Thomas Wilson and had taken over some of the mill buildings and extended further to the south with new buildings. In the 1890s it was acquired by the Highland Distilleries Company. It was silent from 1907 to 1931 until it was extensively rebuilt in the 1959-60s. It closed again in 1986, but was reopened in 2008 and remains in operation.
