History
Lowland distilling grew in the 18th–19th centuries with lighter styles favored around urban centers like Edinburgh; sites often evolved from older brewing or agricultural operations.
Conservation
Many distilleries source water locally and participate in peat and water management; travelers should follow site rules, take litter home, and limit single‑use plastics.
