Holyrood Distillery

Edinburgh’s first new whisky distillery in almost 100 years is a modern home for an ancient blend of place, process and inimitable product.

Combining the old and the new, the project breathes renewed life into a Category B listed 19th century railway building at the foot of the iconic Salisbury Crags, delivering an urban distillery in the heart of Scotland’s capital which perfectly captures the essence of its setting. Unlike traditional distilleries, Holyrood is designed to immerse visitors in the drama of each aspect of the distilling process, as they journey through the original historic stone building into the contemporary new structure, culminating in the framed view of Salisbury Crags from the tasting room.
