The Stevenson brothers built the Oban distillery in 1794, before the town of the same name arose around its harbour.
In 1794 the brothers John and Hugh Stevenson built a whisky distillery at Oban on Scotland's west coast. The distillery predated the town of the same name, which grew up later in the surrounding craggy harbour. The Stevensons ran the enterprise until 1866, when it was purchased by Peter Curnstie.
