Old Photograph Deanston Scotland
Old photograph of houses in Deanston on the south bank of the River Teith by Doune, Scotland. Deanston is the birthplace of pioneering documentary maker John Grierson after whom a street in the village is named. The name comes from Walter Drummond, Dean of Dunblane in 1500, originally called Deans Town. After his appointment as Dean of Dunblane, he acquired the lands now known as Deanston from the Haldanes of Gleneagles, Perthshire. Deanston Cotton Mill was built by the Buchanan brothers of Carston, Killearn near Glasgow, in 1785, and utilised the River Teith to power the mill. On the site, the Deanston Whisky Distillery opened in 1966 and is now owned by Burn Stewart Distillers Limited.
