I know it has been up for some time but I just noted the item about the Cadenhead's shop.I am sure that the last time I visited the wee toon in 1980 that particular shop used to sell Springbank Whisky and was in fact owned by the distillers .I Believe it was a sort of whisky shop come delicatessan.Would love to be reminded of the name,it has only recently slipped from my memory.I remember my father returning from a holiday in his home town and excitedly mentioning that the shop was selling commemorative bottles of whisky distilled when his father (my grandfather (Robert McBain) worked at the distillery. I eagerly asked to see the bottle he must have bought and he sheepishly showed me a photograph of the one in the window! Tight git!!!! NB. : It's just come back to me,I think it was called Eaglesomes?
