6 of Scotland's top whisky distilleries
Scotland's oldest distillery
Glenturret distillery - Perthshire
Established in 1763 just outside Crieff, Glenturret was formerly known as Thurot distillery and is Scotland's oldest working whisky producer.
They offer whiskies between 10 and 30-years old made in-house with the only remaining hand mash tun in Scotland.
Scotland's newest distillery
8 Doors Distillery - John O'Groats
Near Scotland's most northerly point you will find the 8 Doors Distillery, which opened in 2021.
This makes it the newest distillery in Scotland as well as the country's most northerly mainland whisky distillery.
Scotland's most remote distillery
Shetland Reel Distillery - Isle of Unst
It takes two ferry rides from Shetland's mainland to reach the Shetland Reel Distillery - it's so remote that it is actually closer to Norway than Scotland.
Located between Scotland and Norway, the distillery draws on influences from both countries in its whisky and gin production.
Dog friendly distillery
Lindores Abbey Distillery - Newburgh, Fife
Lindores Abbery Distillery invites vistors to bring along their dogs and offer a picnic booking service so you can enjoy the grounds after the tour.
Scotland's smallest traditional distillery
Edradour Distillery - Pitlochry, Perthshire
Edradour Distillery is Scotland's smallest traditional distillery; founded in 1825, it is the last stronghold of single malt whisky from a farm distillery that’s still in production today.
Distillery with amazing views
Talisker Distillery - Isle of Skye
The Talisker Distillery is positioned on the shores of Loch Harport on the Isle of Skye, having first been built in 1830.
The views of the Cullins are best enjoyed with a glass of the brand's sweet full-bodied single malt.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
