The Isle of Arran Distillery is situated at Lochranza on the beautiful Isle of Arran. Arran
lies off the west coast of Scotland across from mainland Ayrshire. It
is one of the few remaining independent distilleries in Scotland. There
were over fifty whisky distilleries on Arran early in the 19th Century,
but most of these were illegal and hidden from the taxman.

There were over fifty whisky distilleries on Arran early in the 19th Century, but most of these were illegal and hidden from the taxman. The Isle of Arran Distillery was opened in 1995 and uses only traditional methods of distilling, with wooden washbacks and copper stills.
You will have the opportunity to learn about whisky making from professionally trained guides. You will be shown how to 'pour your own' bottle direct from the cask, write your own label and enjoy your very own Arran Single Malt Whisky. There is a gift shop where you may buy beautiful, unique decanters and Scottish souvenirs.
