Indeed, ladies and gentlemen, and enthusiasts of all things Glen Mhor, we are back, and quite unexpectedly at that.
You may have noticed that our attention has shifted across Telford Street towards the Glen Albyn distillery, where research is currently in full swing. I had hoped that by documenting this older distillery, which came under the ownership of Mackinlay & Birnie in 1920, we could glean some insights into Glen Mhor itself.
This has certainly proven to be the case, as we have uncovered missing plans and references to Glen Mhor in subsequent years, particularly as work was conducted on both sites simultaneously, including weighing room equipment. Recently, I have been reviewing the first of two logbooks from Glen Albyn that date back to the 1920s. This journal predates the earliest entry for Glen Mhor by almost 12 years, and astonishingly, I have just come across an entry that pertains solely to Glen Mhor.
This could be a significant find, as the 1920s at Glen Mhor remain somewhat of a mystery. Many publications indicate that it was a decade of considerable upheaval and improvements at the site, while my research suggests that many enhancements occurred earlier and in a staggered manner. I hope that any pages from the 1920s might shed new light on this.
