Banff - 1976 (Gordon & MacPhail Private Collection) The Recollection Series #2's home is Distillery Location distillery, in the Highland region of Scotland.

The first distillery to use the name "Banff" was built by James McKilligan & Co. in 1824 on Banff Bay in Inverboyndie. In 1837, ownership was transferred to Alex Mackay, and then in 1852, to James Simpson Sr. and James Simpson Jr. In 1863 James Simpson Jr. built a new distillery, also in Inverboyndie. This distillery had better access to rail transport (via the Great North of Scotland Railway) and a better water source in the springs on Fiskaidly farm.
