My current projects are ...
The history of illegal and legal whisky distilling in The Cabrach region of the Highlands, and the extraordinary part if played in the story of the whisky industry in Speyside, Scotland and beyond.
Research into the early legal distilleries of NE Scotland (1790’s – 1890’s). Locations, configurations, production and social factors.
​
On-going development of a reference collection of whisky related items started nearly 40 years ago.
I am looking for ...
Items that have a connection with the many aspects of whisky manufacture and marketing – tools, bottles, packaging, signs & advertising.
​
Unique stories and information on any aspect of Scotch whisky – inc. social and family history, characters and trades.
​
The opportunity to see items to record, and am always happy to make an offer for anything of interest that you might be willing to sell.
