The Grange Distillery was established in 1786 and was described in the Statistical Account five years later as being "most pernicious to the health, morals and the industry of the people at large".
Nevertheless, and almost 100 years later, Old Burntisland (or OB) whisky -a fine lowland malt -was being produced at 260,000 gallons a year.
The distillery shut down for the First World War and production ceased in 1927.
Extensive use was made of the warehouses until 1987 when they too were decommissioned.
A few of the old buildings remain.
An exceptionally rare bottle described as `O.B Grange, a 7 year old malt from the early 20th century` was auctioned recently and sold for £2,000 which went to an American collector.
With commision and VAT,the total cost was £2,585!
Its sale price placed it firmly in the top ten most expensive lots in the auction, out of about 500 malts.
