Arran Brewery to reopen Rosebank distillery in UK
UK-based Arran Brewery has received around £500,000 in grant from Historic Scotland to reopen the Rosebank distillery in Falkirk.
The company has outlined plans to unveil a brewery, micro-distillery and visitors center on the site. It will name the brewery as Forth and Clyde Brewery Falkirk while the micro distillery will be named the Camelon Distillery.
Commenting on the grant, Arran Brewery managing director Gerald Michaluk said that this has been a long struggle to get support for this site from the Scottish Government.
"While we want to maintain the historic character of the site and open it to the public, at the same time we need to secure its on-going economic success by running a profitable business there," added Michaluk.
Rosebank Distillery, with a capacity to distill around 123,000 gallons of whiskey, was shut down in 1993.
