Kennetpans Distillery is a former Scotch whisky distillery. Once the biggest distillery in Scotland, Kennetpans made whisky in the early eighteenth century. Tax paid on the produce was greater than all of Scotland's land tax. 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." The distillery has connections to Haig and Jameson names in alcohol production.

  • Kennetpans Distillery is a former Scotch whisky distillery. Once the biggest distillery in Scotland, Kennetpans made whisky in the early eighteenth century. Tax paid on the produce was greater than all of Scotland's land tax. 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." The distillery has connections to Haig and Jameson names in alcohol production. A newly developed condensing steam engine invented by James Watt was installed here, the first in Scotland. Ceasing operations in 1825, the site is now noted as being "ruinous" and overgrown. At one time the buildings were three stories high. The site also had its own pier, remains of which can be seen at low tide. (en)
