    Think it was a brewery, not a distillery, and it caused an uproar when it was demolished. John O`Groat Journal archive should be able to help you.

    It was a brewery....had been disused for many many years though. Have heard that when O'Briens cleared it out before demolishing for the flats there were a fair few unused coffins in the building!!!

    It wasn't even the brewery that was left, merely the grain store. Good riddance to it, was delighted to see the back of the eyesore!
