Dallas Dhu Whisky Distillery, IV36 2RR

The Dallas Dhu distillery was built in 1898 by Alexander Edward of Sanquhar. It featured a pagoda roof designed by Scottish architect Charles C. Doig. When ownership of the distillery changed to Wright & Greig Ltd. in 1899, it was renamed "Dallas Dhu".

In 1919, the distillery was sold to J. P. O'Brian & Co., and then again to Benmore Distilleries Ltd. in 1921. After Benmore's acquisition by Distillers Company Limited in 1929, DCL closed the distillery until 1936.

On April 9, 1939, the distillery and much of its equipment was damaged by a fire, but the reopening was delayed until 1947 due to the start of World War II.

Energy for the distillery was derived from a large water wheel until electric power became available at the distillery in the 1950
.
Economic pressure forced Dallas Dhu to close in 1983, and its distilling license was withdrawn in 1992.
