House of Muir distillery

Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

The House of Muir was one of Midlothian’s fleeting distilleries that distilled at the end of the 18th century at House of Muir Farm, north of Penicuik and near Milton Bridge.

The farm buildings are still on current maps, sitting beside the A702 Edinburgh-to-Biggar road, with a small burn close by that feeds into the Glencorse Burn which eventually joins the River North Esk. One ironic touch is that just across the road now stands a water treatment works.
