House of Burn distillery
Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky
House of Burn – also called House of Burns – was a close neighbour of Clathick distillery at Monzievaird, Perthshire. It stood beside the main road from Crieff to Comrie and St Fillans with a burn flowing past that, after joining others, flowed down to the River Earn. The actual House of Burn is still there today.
Interestingly, the sequestration of its last owner, McAra & Stirling, in 1827 even made the London Gazette in February 1828. Two meetings of creditors were held in the Commercial Inn, Crieff, on 5 and 25 February to tie up matters relating to the business under trustee David Burns.
House of Burn History
House of Burn distillery was opened by Andrew McAra & Co. in 1825 and distilled for a year until the partnership developed into McAra & Stirling. The new company ran the distillery until its sequestration in 1827.
