Rebuilt in 1963 (having been closed in 1901) to bring new life, job opportunities and visitors to the island
The architect (Delmé Evans) also designed the new stills - they are the second tallest in Scotland (after Glenmorangie)
George Orwell wrote 1984 while staying on the island in the 1940s
Human population = 200, red deer population = >6,000
The stills contain wooden balls ("conkers") to see how much the still is frothing
