Driving for about 35 miles to the North West from Peterhead, the town in
the very East of Scotland, and you'll reach a town called Banff. The town
stands by the Deveron River and it's the central part of Banff and they
have nice and old streets. A first distillery was established by James
McKilligan&Co in 1824 but soon it was closed. The precise place is
unknown. After that James Simpson junior moved it to a village called Inver-boyndie
and he built it by the railroad. They had a fire accident in 1877 and in
1941 part of there warehouse was burned by the bombs of the German bomber.
In 1959 they had an accident while rebuilding there distillery and they
had a fire accident few times after that too. The distillery was closed
in 1983. After there close down they still had little fire accident and
now the site is ruined and part of the wall still remains. The railroad
had already been removed. |
