📌 Deanston, Stirling
★★★

Deanston Distillery looks nothing like a traditional distillery, and the uncompromising architecture isn’t ideal if this is the only distillery you’ll ever visit, but otherwise this is a whisky tour that makes an interesting change from the norm. And inside, things are pleasingly old-fashioned. The building started out as a cotton mill in 1785, powered by the fast-flowing River Teith alongside. As demand and corresponding production declined through the early 20th century the river was instrumental again, making it suitable for conversion into a distillery in 1966. The visitor centre opened in 2012; tours are good, starting with a slick film about the site’s heritage, but appear to have become rather expensive since our last visit.
