About this audio guide
This guide to The Clydeside Distillery in Glasgow follows one family's money across four generations, from a Victorian builder on the River Clyde to a whisky-making great-grandson. It touches the hydraulic power that once worked a busy commercial dock, the decades when the trade drained away, and the sale of a family whisky firm in the nineteen nineties. Stand by the window facing the stills while you listen.
