Brora is one of the holy trinity of lost Scotch whisky distilleries that has since been reawakened.
Brora distillery – or Clynelish as it was originally known – was established in 1819 by the Marquis of Stafford, later the Duke of Sutherland, as part of his controversial Highland Clearances to evict 15,000 tenants by force to make way for sheep.
