Notes:
Although distillers were licensed or 'entered' for production from the late
seventeenth century, no consistent statistics have survived. These are known to
have been compiled at least from the 1750s as the Board of Excise of Scotland
made an annual return to the Treasury in London. The stan of the Scottish figures
in 1815 resulted from the legislation in 1814.
The Scottish figures 1870-82 also include the figures for England.
From 1923 Irish figures are for Northern Ireland only.
The number of distilleries licensed to work in Scotland in March 1993 was 105 (Ref. C&E).
