GLENCADAM Distillery has confirmed work is underway to develop a new visitor centre and VIP suite at its site in Brechin.
Dating back to 1825, it is one of Scotland’s oldest distilleries and the new visitor centre will pay tribute to its rich heritage with a dedicated exhibition space showcasing the history of the distillery and its surroundings.
It will also house a retail space and tasting rooms, as well as a whisky lounge, cafe and function suite for corporate hospitality and private hire.

Project manager Gary Milligan commented: “Much work has gone into developing plans to craft an immersive visitor experience suited to both our historic distillery and the vibrant community which surrounds it.
“Blending tradition with modernity, a stone façade will wrap around the two-floor visitor centre, complementing the existing distillery buildings while adding a contemporary feel, with enhanced amenities to elevate the overall visitor experience.”
The team at the distillery produced whisky through a process that’s remain unchanged for around 200 years.
It is expected that the new centre will open its doors to visitors and locals like in summer 2025.
Milligan added: “As we approach our 200th anniversary in 2025, it is a truly exciting time for all involved at Glencadam.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
