Falkirk Distillery
Falkirk now has two distilleries — the reopened Rosebank (a major heritage project) and the newer Falkirk Distillery, a smaller operation producing gin and maturing whisky. The two represent different approaches to Lowland distilling in the same town: Rosebank is resurrection and heritage, Falkirk Distillery is startup and experimentation. The gin is the current commercial product while the whisky matures. Worth visiting alongside Rosebank for a compare-and-contrast of old and new Lowland distilling philosophy.

Other lowland distilleries
Auchentoshan
Scotland’s only triple-distilled single malt, producing notably light and delicate spirit. A 10-minute drive from Glasgow and easily the most accessible distillery visit for city-break tourists.
Bladnoch
Scotland's most southerly distillery, founded in 1817 and revived by Australian entrepreneur David Prior in 2015. Produces classically light, grassy Lowland single malts in a quiet corner of Dumfries & Galloway that most visitors never reach.
Glenkinchie
Known as “The Edinburgh Malt”, Glenkinchie sits in rolling farmland 25 minutes south of the capital and is the most-visited Lowland distillery. The 12 Year Old is the reference point for delicate, grassy Lowland style — a useful gateway for beginners.
