Abbotshaugh distillery

Lowland single malt Scotch whisky

Abbotshaugh was located in the grounds of an abbey that has long since vanished. It was possibly on or beside West Mains of Abbotshaugh, a farm close to the Forth-Clyde Canal that had opened in 1790.

Abbotshaugh History

Abbotshaugh distillery opened in 1825, licensed to the Abbotshaugh Distillery Co. However, the site closed in 1828 when Mr A McFarlane, a major investor, withdrew from the venture.

Abbotshaugh House was still listed in the Scottish County Directory a century later, but the area is now an industrial estate, west of The Helix roundabout on the old A9 road.
