Travel North across the Queensferry crossing where you can enjoy a view of the Historic UNESCO World Heritage Forth Railway Bridge, which dates back to 1890.
Thereafter, on towards Tullibardine Distillery which dates back to 1949 although history tells us that this very site was that of a Brewery back in the 15th Century, enjoying Royal Charter from the then King James IV of Scotland.
The water comes from the surrounding Ochil Hills, drawn from the Danny Burn formed here over 400 million years ago with layers of Basalt and Red Sandstone, these hills are well known for the gold that was once mined from them. The clear water that runs through them took 15 yrs to reach the Danny Burn. In 1979 Highland Spring started using the same water.
Tours and Tastings are varied and can be booked separately at a price ranging from £12 per person. Recommend booking in advance once your tour is confirmed.

Glengoyne Whisky Distillery which was founded in 1833, sits at the foot of Campsie Hills near Loch Lomond.
Whether you are a seasoned whisky connoisseur or a curious traveller seeking an authentic Scottish experience, Glengoyne Distillery promises a truly memorable adventure.
Perhaps become your very own Malt Master. Glengoyne’s Malt Master experience includes an incredibly in-depth tour of the distillery with Glengoyne’s experienced distillery ambassadors.

This coupled with a truly personal touch that you are sure to love, makes the Glengoyne experience truly unique.
