Another of the Lowland lost grain distilleries, Carsebridge much like Cambus, was centrally located. The distillery can be traced back to 1798 when it started life by producing malt whisky, until 1852 when the family owners switched to grain production to meet demand. Just 4 years later, a handful of grain distillery owners form an agreement to split the market and gain some sense of control. The move proves successful and is the foundation for the creation of the Distillers Company Limited that would eventually become the dominant company in Scotch whisky. At one time it was the biggest producer within the company portfolio, but fell victim to the drop in demand and issue of overproduction that came to a head in 1983. The site was demolished in the 1990s and the only lasting legacy other than the whisky is Carsebridge House that emerged after being surrounded by production buildings for decades.
