Dining at Kingsbarns Distillery
Dining will be a truly Scottish experience and the distillery is located on the outskirts of the centuries-old village of Kingsbarns, near St Andrews, in the East Neuk of Fife.

Originally an agricultural settlement, the origins of the Kingsbarns name comes from the area being the location of the barns used to store grain before being moved to Falkland Palace, a historic royal residence of Kings and Queens, just a few miles away.
