Visited this with Bryag today, a big thanks to Lost for the info 
A little history, this Distillery was first opened in 1875 by the Glenglassaugh Distillery Company, to take advantage of the local spring-water and barley fields. It was taken over in the 1890s by Highland Distilleries Co Ltd, who owned up until this year, when it was sold to a Dutch Consortium. It was first closed in 1907, reopened in 1931, closed again in 1936. Between 1956-60 it was completely renovated and also re-equipped, then closed again in 1986 for the last time. It has lain dormant since then, although the Dutch consortium plan to re-open, apparently in 'late 2008'. They'll need to pull their finger out from what we saw today
Anyway, enough waffle, on with the pics...
The main building :
First view, bottom of the stills :
Looking through :
Switches
Spotted a fellow explorer :
Low wines, and 'paraflow' :)
Thingy.... :
Between the stills :
The stills themselves :
Mash room :
Valve :
Bottom of the tuns :
Top of the tuns :
Water pump
Looking over the stills :
Wooden stuff :
Looking downstairs :
Lastly, some of the older part of the Distillery, seen through a window with a cool respirator thingy, we didn't get into these
Some of my pics aren't the best, this was my first trip out with a 'proper' camera, a 350d...
Twas a good days exploring, thanks to Bryag for the driving !
