    This week I look at the first in a series of Highland Railway Company invoices from 1916, which offer us a unique glimpse into the movement of goods to and from the distillery.

    Glen Mhor Distillery Team 1939

    A tremendous find this week as we're able to reveal an image of the distillery team taken in 1939. Hugely exciting to be able to see the individuals that made Glen Mhor tick, and thanks to relatives, we're able to actually name some of them.

    20th September 1921 Mackinlay & Birnie Bere barley invoice

    The invoice indicates a new era at Glen Mhor with the inclusion of Glen Albyn in the letterhead, after its acquisition by Mackinlay & Birnie in 1920. As we'll see from the next invoice, this template is the standard issue for Mackinlay & Birnie, allowing the office to type in the blanks and keep a record of any transactions, details and approvals.  Apologies for the variable sound here, not sure what happened as it was recorded immediately after episode 12.

    John Walker & Sons 26th June 1917

    John Walker & Sons of Kilmarnock is a strong candidate in the most fanciful document stakes. Their legacy is firmly established in history as Johnnie Walker and this official invoice remains as striking and impressive as it did in June 1917 when it arrived at Glen Mhor distillery. We discuss the document on the latest episode!
