The original Clynelish Destillerie (Clynelish A), was created 1819 by George Granville Levison Gower, the second Marquis OF Stafford and later Duke OF Sutherland. The construction costses are to have amounted to at that time about 750 Pound of Sterling. The Brennerei was leased 1821 at James Harper, 1834 at Andrew Ross and 1846 at George Lawson, to which the two original fuel blisters replace around 1850 read. 1896 went it at James Ainslie & CO., to 1912 at John Risk and the Distillers company Limited (DCL) and 1925 completely to the DCL it 1930 at their daughter Scotish paint Distillers (SMD) handed over. By March 1931 until September 1938 and May 1941 until November 1945 the Brennerei was shut down. The fuel blisters were heated up until 1961 with coal, afterwards on steam umgestellt.1965 the own was closed.
