Old Photographs Tomatin Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Tomatin, Scottish Gaelic: Tom Aitinn, a small village on the River Findhorn in Strathdearn in the Scottish Highlands about 16 miles south of the city of Inverness. Tomatin is perhaps best known for being the home of Tomatin whisky which, with its 23 stills, was the largest malt distillery in Scotland during the 1970s. Although it is thought that whisky has been distilled on the site since the 16th century, when cattle drovers would buy from a local still, the distillery was not established until 1897 under the name of Tomatin Spey Distillery Company Limited. Tomatin railway station opened on 8 July 1897 by the Highland Railway. The station closed to both passengers and goods traffic on 3 May 1965. Tomatin viaduct was opened in 1897 by the Highland Raliway All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.
