Murchie

MURCHIE, Grocer, Wine and Ship Store Merchant, 48, Princes Street, Ardrossan.

    This rapidly rising business was founded six years ago, in Glasgow Street, by the present owner, and was removed to Princes Street for better accommodation about a year back. The premises, which are of large extent, include a fine shop to the front and extensive stores, tea rooms, etc., to the rear. The cellars are also spacious, cool, and airy, and are fitted with every facility for bottling and blending. Mr. Murchie enjoys a first-class patronage from both landsmen and seamen, and his stock is necessarily large and select. The finer grades of groceries and provisions are well represented, and high-class teas, blended on the premises, are a speciality.

    The range of whiskies, brandies, and foreign spirits presents several features of special interest ; to one of which we may refer, namely, the famous “Goat Fell” whisky, a pure Scotch distillation of full maturity and fine flavour. Mr. Murchie has agents in America and Australia for this whisky, and commands a large trade. The business is an excellent one throughout, and is ably controlled by Mr. Murchie in person.
