Historic distillers the Wemyss family have announced that they are to commence construction on a £3m single malt whisky distillery and visitor centre by Kingsbarns, Fife - after securing a grant from the Scottish Government.

Located within the listed East Newhall Farm steading, now situated on Cambo Estates’ Kingsbarns golf course, the crumbling ruin will be extensively remodelled by conservation specialists Simpson & Brown.

This work will take place between early 2013 and 2014 when it is hoped distilling can commence.

William Wemyss said: “This rare opportunity to distil our own single malt whisky and develop a new Scotch whisky brand to support our existing business as an independent bottler will secure the family interest in Scotch for the next generation.

“We are delighted to be working with the Scottish Government, Sir Peter Erskine and Kingsbarns Distillery founder, Doug Clement, to bring a new distillery and visitor centre to the East Fife area.”
