Renovation starts for former Rosebank Distillery

 GROUND was officially broken today at the Rosebank distillery, marking the start of its redevelopment under new owners, Ian Macleod Distillers.

The extensive, multi-million pound restoration, carried out by ISG, is expected to be completed in summer 2021, when the distillery will open its doors to the public and begin production once again. Situated on the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal between Edinburgh and Glasgow, Rosebank has been dormant for 25 years. It ceased production in 1993 when former owner UDV (now Diageo), mothballed the site and its maltings were converted into a restaurant.
