Glengoyne Whisky Distillery, Scotland (near Glasgow)

Glengoyne Distillery is often described as Scotland's most beautiful distillery. Situated just 15 miles north of Glasgow on the scenic A81, Glengoyne is also close to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. The distillery, which takes its name from "Glen Guin" or Glen of the Wild Geese, has been producing an exceptional single malt scotch whisky for over 200 years.

Glengoyne Distillery is situated in a wooded valley in the southern Highlands of Scotland close to a small river that flows into Loch Lomond. With its neat, manicured buildings and whitewashed walls, the distillery sits like a white jewel beneath the rolling Campsie Hills at the gateway to the Highlands. Its true magic, though, is only unveiled as you wander through the picturesque distillery yard, between banks of seasonal flora, to the Reception Centre and beyond. Here, tucked away behind the main buildings, within a natural sandstone hollow, you'll find a tranquil lochan fed by a 50-foot waterfall.

"Glengoyne isn't just a product of the place, of course. It's also testimony to the skills and commitment of the people who have made it their life's work." (Duncan McNicoll, Stillman)

It is reassuring to see how little has changed. Nine people still make the whisky (including our Distillery Manager, Robbie Hughes, just as they did in the past. And their characters are just as colourful!
