The distillery is situated on the site of an old brewery that goes as far back as the year 1488 when it produced a special ale for the coronation of King James IV at Scone. It was redesigned in 1949 by William Delme-Evans, architect of Jura and Glenallachie distilleries. He was the partner of a retired Excise officer setting up the venture but it proved too much of a financial drain and in 1953 it was sold on. The distillery was rebuilt in 1974 and mothballed in 1994.
The distillery was purchased in 2003 by a business consortium and is the heart of a retail complex and tourist attraction.
