Port of Leith Distillery
You could be amongst the first people to abseil from the tallest distillery in the world!
Abseiling from the top of Port of Leith Distillery, 100ft above the Firth of Forth. This is the first time this event has been held, so you’ll be one of the first to take on this unique challenge.
And what a view you’ll have, enjoying Edinburgh’s iconic skyline and the historic Royal Yacht Britannia below you! Standing proudly on the waterfront, the Port of Leith Distillery is the UK’s first vertical distillery, a striking 9-storey tower wedged into Edinburgh’s thriving Leith Harbour.
