  1. I can give you some names Sandy Davidson (Engineer) George "Darkie" Skinner (Cooperage) Watty Philips Cabers MacKenzie (lived in the house closest to Caley ground) Tommy Beattie (Lived upsatirs from Cabers you could sit on the steps to their house and see the game or jump the garden wall!) All of these apart from Darkie have sadly passed, Tommy only a few months ago. The "Clearick" clear whisk, took a few also! Darkie's wife has some photo's of the distillery, as does Tommy's family, as, like I mentioned, he lived in one of the "Distellery Houses". Theres a few others I can picture their faces, but names escape me. SMD (Scottish Malt Distillers) was the logo on their boiler suits and dungarees Always a game of Cat & Mouse being played between the Distillery boy's and the customs and excise I witnessed cases and cases being passed out the back of the Mash Room doors onto the Canal and Muirtown Basin and being put on a boat which took it further afield! You could write a book just about Cabers MacKenzie alone, he had a permenant wobble on Oh to own a few bottles of it now as it retails at 3 or 4 figures! I believe Diago have items in storage which may be of use to you, but you would need to contact them. There was plans drawn up to create a glass frontage at Glen Mhor as part of a tourist attraction, so you could see the processes as it was being created, this was in 82'. Then, very quickly,and sadly, the distilleries both closed in 83'.
