Aberfeldy 16 Years

Just outside the town of Aberfeldy, General Wade's Bridge stands as a monument to a man so fêted in his day that a special verse of the National Anthem was written in his honour.
Between 1725 and 1737 Wase ensured that English troops could move easily around the rebellious Highlands by building roads and bridges of which the Tay Bridge at Aberfeldy is the most magnificent by far. He also raised a local militia that became the Black Watch Regiment and tried to win oven Clan Chiefs whose loyalty lay with the king.
On the other side of Aberfeldy, the handsome distillery built in 1898 by Alexander and Tommy Dewar, collects water as it tumbles down the Pitille Burn on its way to the Tay. This water, which conatins traces of gold, is there transformed into the mellow honeyed golden dram that bears the town's name. There could be more fitting monuments to their father and our founder, John Dewar.
