November 1916 The Highland Railway Company

  We've reached November 1916, although my first thought was what happened to October 1916 in the pile of bills we've been digesting. One for the Glen Mhor mystery folder, which seems to be bursting at the seams. Perhaps as a consolation prize, we actually have two invoices from November 1916, one of which is excitingly labelled as relating to the Muirtown Canal Basin. That's next up, but for now we're firmly on the railway tracks with the Highland Railway Company's shipments . And what a sizeable, blockbuster invoice it is! It appears that this was a particularly active month at the distillery, as the season reached its peak. There is no other plausible explanation for this on our timeline, other than orders for filling were robust and Glen Mhor was a highly sought-after product by blenders. This indicates that business was thriving.  2nd November 1 Drum oil, by waste, Aberdeen. 3rd November  3 hogsheads of yeast, Edinburgh 6th November 3 bags yeast, Manchester 10
