Holyrood Distillery Free Tour

The first single malt whisky distillery in the city centre in almost a century, Holyrood Distillery opened in 2019.

Situated next to Holyrood Park, it is in a 180 year old railway goods building which has been thoughtfully renovated as both a whisky and gin distillery.
