The historic distillery has been through 3 whisky making eras and a period when it was used in farming. It was formerly a Johnnie Walker distillery which closed in 1918. Following an extensive £10.5 million restoration project. Annandale Distillery was reborn in 2014 with production starting on 3rd November. Once again Single Malt scotch whisky is being produced in Dumfries and Galloway after almost a 100 year absence.
We booked a distillery tour and a table for lunch well in advance of our visit with the owner who was extremely helpful. The tour was excellently run with all social distancing arrangements carefully monitored throughout. The distillery has been completely rebuilt and is great to see older and traditional methods of whisky production now back in place. Lunch was excellent - although a reduced menu from the usual owing to the Covid-19 crisis - that said everything was freshly prepared and delicious and the cafe/coffee shop a pleasure to eat in. We were also able to take our dog who loved it too. All in all an excellent visit and exceptional facilities during the current situation. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The largest farmers market in the area, we have, on average, 35 stalls each month ranging from award winning beef, lamb, hogget & other fresh meats to gourmet cakes & bakes and delicate handcrafted silver jewellery to unique woodcraft.
I could have written the last review. This is certainly the best local produce market in Dumfries & Galloway. My highlights are: Great corn bread from Little‘s bakery Great Scotch Pies and Hogget from Annanwater Great Highland beef from Barlochan Lovely cakes from Annie’s Excellent chutneys from Kate Kirkpatrick. I could go on but go and visit and taste for yourself.
