Lindores Abbey
Built on the site of Lindores Abbey, home to the earliest documented whisky making in Scotland (a 1494 Exchequer Roll entry for Friar John Cor). The modern distillery opened in 2017 and produces a light, honeyed style — the tour includes the abbey ruins.

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.
