Visit the ‘Scottish Gin Destination of the Year’

We’re from Scotland. The country that invented almost bloody everything. That’s why our logo is a little bolt of inspiration. Our mission is to create tasty honest craft spirits for everyone who likes a tipple. We make our very own spirit from local grain to add to our gin. Hardly anyone does this as it takes ages and costs more. So why do we bother?More taste. More honest. More Crafty.

Take your taste buds on a tour of our modern distillery to learn the secrets of our process, from how we make our very own spirit, to the botanicals we’ve selected to create our unique and vibrant gin. After the tour you’ll get a perfect serve of our Hills & Harbour Gin, and enjoy enviable views over the Galloway countryside.

We also run exclusive Gin Escapes, where we take you on an adventure into the forests and coastlines of our region to discover where our botanicals come from.
