bringing the tradition of distilling back to st andrews

eden mill - our story

it starts in 1655...

In 1655 Robert Haig of Throsk, an early-days whisky distiller was summoned before the kirk session for the crime of distilling on the Sabbath.

That was just the beginning of the long brewing and distilling tradition linked to this corner of Scotland.

By the mid-1800s, the same site on the Estuary was home to the Seggie Whisky Distillery which ceased production not long after and became a paper mill instead, bringing bustling trade to the area.

Over 150 years on, Eden Mill revived history on the edge of the Eden Estuary and opened Scotland's first single-site brewery, whisky and gin distillery.

The old paper mill still stands today and our name is a nod to times gone by.

In June 2023 we took ownership of the building that will form our new home in the same location that whisky was first distilled on the banks of the Eden Estuary in 1655.

Situated on the new St Andrews University Eden Campus, our new distillery will combine the ancient craft of whisky making with modern technology for a more sustainable and earth positive outcome.
