Sir Iain Tennant -
11th March 1919- 25th September 2006

Grandfather to the current owner, Ed , Sir Iain lived a fascinating life . From being captured and made a prisoner of war at the fall of Tobruk in North Africa where he served with the 2nd Battalion , Scots Guards, to being chairman of both Glenlivet and Grampian Television. Iain always maintained an air of respectability despite his turbulent life.
In 1946 he married The Lady Margaret Ogilvy and had three children , Mark , Christopher and Emma . His wonderful diaries we hold here in our collection , give an insight to not only his harrowing experiences as a prisoner of war but at the other end of the scale , his incredible visits to Windsor Castle , where he dined with her majesty the Queen , “ in a dirty shirt “. These retelling of his stories are invaluable to not only his family but Innes’s history and help shape the tale of one man’s life.
In 1986 he was appointed Knight of the Thistle. The most ancient and the most noble order of the Thistle is an order of chivalry in Scotland that dates back to the late seventeenth century!
Here you can see him in his robes of the order of the thistle , this beautiful painting by Carlos Sancha , hangs in our Red Ballroom at Innes House , alongside many members of the Tennant family , each with their own extraordinary stories to tell .

Meet Bina the newest member of the Innes House team.

Earlier this week, this wee lamb was orphaned, so our Farm Manager popped in with into the house with her hoping that one of the staff would foster or adopt her. She was snapped up in seconds, before our Director decided to take her!

All of us were unsure if she would make it, but she has pulled through and seems to be enjoying life.

She will be a regular visitor at Innes House, so watch out for updates.

Come along to our first Spirit of Speyside event 'Building Better Whisky' on the 2nd May 2024 from 5pm to 6pm. Book tickets here:

https://tickets.spiritofspeyside.com/sales/events/2024-festival/building-better-whisky

It currently takes a litre of oil to produce a litre of whisky. But whisky drinkers now expect distilleries to be greener, from the way the barley is farmed to the source of energy to heat the stills.

For this event, new festival members Innes House have assembled a panel of experts ranging from architects to maltsters to explore the innovative ways distilleries can reduce the carbon footprint of their whisky and also provide wider benefits to the communities around them.

At the end of the event you will have an opportunity to taste the whiskies produced using pioneering, greener technology as well as speak to the archivist of the historic Innes House which dates back to the 17th century. Early bookings will also be offered a chance to tour Innes House and have a sneak preview of its new Whisky Room.

30/04/2024

This Thursday Spey are supporting Organic Architects in hosting an event at the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival to explore the latest ways for whisky to go green.
