Uile-bheist Distillery & Brewery

For over two decades, we nurtured a vision to craft the finest sustainable artisanal beers and whiskies. In 2022, our dream became a reality with the opening of Uile-bheist Distillery & Brewery, making us the first ‘Brewstillery’ in Scotland. Located on the historic banks of the River Ness—it is here where the legendary Loch Ness Monster was born.

Inspired by this mythical connection, our distillery champions sustainability, boasting a cutting-edge energy centre, its own water source and leading the way in sustainable practices. We operate daily tours, from our entry-level Discovery tour, to our bespoke Head Distiller Tour. We also have our Taproom Bar open from 11 am to 11 pm every day.

Caley Cruisers have been offering boating holidays on Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal since 1970 and we celebrated our 50th anniversary in 2020! Weekly or short break charter is available from April to October inclusive. No previous boating experience necessary as full training given. Cruising 60 miles of Europes most beautiful inland waterways will be one of the most memorable experiences you will ever have. So if you are looking for the perfect boating holiday in Scotland, or Caledonian Canal boat hire look no further.
