Pub owners turned distillers say they are enjoying their new venture which will give another reason for tourists to visit the village
A new distillery is all set to open for business - just minutes away from one of Falkirk district's most iconic tourist attractions.
Speaking after the meeting, Mr O'Rourke said the venture was "a last hurrah" for him and wife, Sheena, who are now in their seventies. Alongside the pub were old buildings - once a brewhouse and distillery - that the couple have worked for the past two years to restore. Colm jokes that while his wife is very good at the technical side of distilling he is very good at the sampling.
However, the new distillery will be selling 'new make spirit' - unmatured whisky - which cannot be called whisky but is increasingly popular as a drink.
