The "North of Scotland" distillery has been founded in 1958 by George Christie, who would build the Speyside distillery in Kingussie some years later. The distillery was converted from the old Robert Knox's Forth Brewery, which was created in 1786, not far from the Cambus distillery. The North of Scotland distillery has been created to produce malt whisky with altered Coffey stills, but after 2 years it was decided to produce only grain whisky. After only a few years of production, the distillery was closed in 1980 and dismantled in 1993. The remaing buildings were used as warehouses at the Cambus distillery. Cambus distillery is closed too, and is reconverted in a filling center and warehouse

Scott's Selection's are exceedingly Rare Single Malt Scotch Whiskies hand picked as his favourites by Robert Scott, Master Blender at Speyside Distillers in Glasgow, Scotland. Over many years, Robert would "lay down" new fillings from distilleries all over Scotland and await in quiet antcipation the results of the maturing liquid gold. Only when he judged the individual Single Malts had achieved their optimum in quality and finish would he allow them to be bottled under his strict supervision.

The selection is neither chill filtered or reduced with water and is bottled at the natural cask strength for Robert believed in savouring the original flavours of the unique collection. Chill filtration is used generally for purely asthetic reasons, yet it can on occasion take a lot of the character out of the Whisky and Robert's appetite was for "the meat and the potatoes". Robert Scott has now "officially" retired from Speyside. However, he still keeps a close eye on his collection and is still excited when a special wee parcel comes to light.
