Pitleasie distillery

Lowland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Pitlessie – as the distillery was also sometimes spelled – is a small village two miles east of Ladybank and about four miles south-west of Cupar. It sits close to the River Eden and a small burn runs through the locality. The distillery’s OS coordinates are too vague to locate it precisely and any ruins or other traces of the distillery likely vanished decades ago.
