- 01/01/1989 — Glendronach Distillery (register-of-tartans, record)
Situated on the Dronach Burn (hence the name - Glendronach.) near Huntly in the Highlands, this distillery was built in 1826 and apparently replaced one that had been illicitly distilling there for many years. Two notes on the woven sample read: 'William Teachers, Glendronach Tartan. Design submitted by Wm. Teachers 1990.' Second note in different hand reads: 'Designed by LOS for Glen Dronach whisky. Colours for logo etc.' - pre 1991 — Glendronach Distillery (Corporate) (tartans-authority, record)
