Old photograph of cottages and the Post Office in Cambus village near Alloa, Clackmannanshire, about 4 miles east of Stirling. A whisky distillery was founded in Cambus in 1806. It or another was re-established by John Mowbray in 1813 or perhaps 1836. In 1877 ownership was merged into the Distillers Company. The distillery was closed down in 1993. There is a song about Cambus Whisky which mentions " sober Sandy " who was reportedly a ballman at the distillery.
