Distillery Managers

A paragraph in the Oban Times for 7th May 1881 stated that the new distillery was 'about to be erected' and by 26th November it was reported that it had been 'very expeditiously put up, and (was) now about ready to start working'.

This is the list of the previous managers and the periods over which they served. Also the owners of the distillery at that time.
