Annandale Distillery, formerly owned by Johnnie Walker and closed by them in 1919, will start producing whisky again in 2010. Professor David Thomson, who has bought the distillery, has been given a £150,000 grant by the Scottish Government and £350,000 towards the restoration of the buildings.
Apparently the distillery, built in 1830, produced a peaty whisky, and Thomson aims to make a whisky that echoes it's past. The distillery, near Gretna, will create eighteen jobs and cost it's new owner a lot of money. Hope it works for him, it isn't going to be easy. He'd spend less money just setting fire to his wallet!
