Kennetpans distillery

Once the biggest distillery in Scotland, Kennetpans made whisky in the early eighteenth century.

This wealth led to the building of the first railway line in Scotland and one of the first canals.

The owners, the Stein family, have been described as being "at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution in Scotland.

"[2] The distillery has connections to Haig and Jameson names in alcohol production.

A newly developed Boulton and Watt condensing steam engine was installed, the first in Scotland, at a time when spirits produced were being exported in great quantities to the English gin market.
