Glen Scotia was founded in 1832 by the Galbraith family. The family sold it to West Highland Malt Distillers in 1919, although that company went bankrupt in 1924 and control of the distillery was transferred to Duncan MacCallum. Glen Scotia closed in 1928, and MacCallum committed suicide on December 23, 1930 by drowning himself in the distillery's water source.
Glen Scotia was closed again in 1984, and then re-opened in 1989 when its parent company was bought by Gibson International. Production stopped once more in 1994 when the distillery was bought by Glen Catrine Bonded Warehouse Ltd. In 2000, Glen Scotia was re-staffed with workers from the Loch Lomond distillery.

Campbeltown, Scotland
The Signatory Vintage Scotch Whisky company is an independent scotch whisky bottler who started fifteen years ago with the purchase of a single barrel. From humble beginnings they have gone from from strength to strength, bottling some of the finest whisky in Scotland. Specialising in single barrel bottling from refined malt whisky producers they concentrate on individuality of flavour, finesse and quality.
The recent purchase of Edradour adds to their portfolio of quality and individual whisky. Edradour is Scotland's smallest distillery nestled in a pocket glen in the hills above Pitlochry producing only 12 casks of the 10 year old a week. Obviously this means that there is limited quantity and each of their bottles are numbered and dated.
Campbeltown (Scottish Gaelic: "Ceann Loch Chille Chiarain") is a town and former royal burgh in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, located by Campbeltown Loch on the Kintyre peninsula. Originally known as Kinlochkilkerran (Eng: The head of the loch by the kirk of St. Kieran) - this form is still used in Gaelic. It was renamed in the 17th century as 'Campbell's town', Archibald Campbell, Earl of Argyle, having been granted the site in 1667 for the erection of a burgh of barony. Campbeltown became an important centre for shipbuilding and Scotch whisky, and a busy fishing port.
Campbeltown is one of the handful of areas in Scotland categorised as a distinct whisky producing region, and is home to the Campbeltown Single Malts, at one point having 34 distilleries and proclaiming itself "the whisky capital of the world". However, a focus on quantity rather than quality, and the combination of prohibition and the Great Depression in the United States, led to most distilleries going out of business. Today only three active distilleries remain in Campbeltown, which have, or in one case is expected to have, an excellent reputation for their quality.
