The Isle of Arran was once home to over fifty illicit whisky distilleries. When the only legal distillery closed in 1837, the island remained whiskyless for over 150 years. Harold Currie founded the Arran distillery in 1993, and the tradition of whisky distillation was finally brought back to the island.
