its hey day of Distillerys and Shipping magnets!!
I guess the magnets wouldn't work with wooden ships ?
Still, (scuse the pun) there's one distillery left ..... Springbank .. and a fine dram it is too
From J+A Mitchell's website .... "Founded in 1828 on the site of Archibald Mitchell's illicit still..... " Hmmmmmm, must be a great-great-great relative over there somewhere ..
