Deanston

About a mile to the west of Doune by the River Teith, over the bridge built in 1535 is Deanston. This village was established along with the cotton mill set up here in 1785. The mill provided jobs for about 1000 people in the early nineteenth century and was enlarged in 1933, but closed in 1965.

The building was converted into a distillery with the weaving halls being used as a warehouse. It prospered during the 1970s, but ceased production from 1982 until 1990.
