Newton House (Islay)
Newton House is a building on the Hebridean island of Islay . It is located about 900 m east of the village of Bridgend south of the A846 between Bridgend and Ballygrant . The Sorn passes the building a few hundred meters south. On August 28, 1980, the building was placed on the Scottish List of Monuments in Category C.
Newton House was once part of a settlement that has since been abandoned. A whiskey distillery called Newton was operated there between 1816 and 1839 , of which individual buildings could still be preserved as outbuildings of Newton House.
