Old Photograph Glenrinnes Lodge Scotland
Old photograph of Glenrinnes Lodge near Dufftown, in the heart of Speyside, Scotland. James Eadie died in 1904 at Glenrinnes House not quite six years after buying Glenrinnes Estate. He was a brewer who made his fortune in Burton on Trent in England. He was born in Blackford, Perthshire in 1827. He was one of 14 children born to William Eadie and Mary Stewart. His father was owner of a small brew house in Blackford and both parents ran a hotel and livery stable business in the town. In 1842, James was sent to live with an uncle in Staffordshire where he learned business skills and began supplying malt to brewers in Burton on Trent. In 1864 he established a brewery in Burton. He became quite rich. In his later years he became a Justice of the Peace and a Depute Lord Lieutenant of Banffshire.
