Duntiblae distillery

Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Also called Waterside, this distillery near Kirkintilloch, Dunbartonshire, knew three periods of operation spread over six or seven decades.

The distillery stood beside the Luggie Burn, a stream south-east of Kirkintilloch. On the burn’s south bank runs Old Duntiblae Road, on the north bank is Waterside housing estate. Its main approach road is Bankhead Road and one source places the distillery there, but it is possible it stood on the Duntiblae side, or even that it straddled the burn.
