This western highland distillery was built in 1898 by the Glenlochy - Fort William Distillery Co. Ltd, founded by David McAndie of Nairn. Glenlochy was in production until 1919. It then fell silent, apart from a short period during 1925.

Thomas Rankin, a local car hirer, bought the distillery in 1937, but it was not long before he sold in onto a group who eventually acquired quite a portfolio of distilleries: including Bruichladdich, Benromach, Fettercairn, Glen Esk and Glenury Royal distilleries around the same time.

Glenlochy was in production until 1983. In 1992 the site was then sold and demolished.
