For the first time since 1925, there's a single malt distillery in the centre of Edinburgh.

Our distillery and visitor experience sits in a 180-year old building next to Holyrood Park and within easy walking distance of Edinburgh’s main attractions.

The distillery, which also produces a range of gins and gin liqueurs, offers daily guided tours throughout the year and is set to become a major visitor attraction in Edinburgh for both tourists and locals.

We take every opportunity to ensure the details for Holyrood Distillery are accurate, if any of the above information is incorrect we would appreciate if you could take a minute to suggest an edit.
