Rutherglen Bridge History

George Brown held the licence at Rutherglen Bridge from 1817 until he was sequestrated in 1819. The licence subsequently passed to Rutherglen Bridge Distillery Co., which ran the distillery until its closure in 1823.

The site later became a thread works, although all buildings have since been demolished.
