The Ardnamurchan peninsula is a wonderfully remote “finger” of rocky land that stretches out to the
furthest westerly point of the UK, just to the north of the Isle of Mull, and south of the Isle of Skye. It
is accessed initially by a small ferry, and then by a narrow and twisty single track road. It is famous
for its outstanding and untouched beauty and abundance of natural resources.
The Ardnamurchan Distillery is situated half way along the peninsula in the small village of Glenbeg.
It was designed to both look like a distillery, and also fit in with the surrounding buildings.
The size of the distillery was governed by the width of the road, which is only 3.2 metres at its
narrowest point. The largest mash tun that could be transported along the road was 2 tonnes.
The distillery was also designed to enjoy a close, symbiotic relationship with the neighbouring farm
and estate.
