Dalton Distillery is conveniently located just off the B725 about 6 miles from the market town of Lockerbie and just over a mile from the village of Carrutherstown. This former Gin Distillery occupies a generous site of about 1.024 acres and incorporates a traditional ‘L’ shaped stone built single storey building which was utilised as the visitor’s centre and distillery. In addition, planning permission has been granted for change of use and alterations, including formation of new roof, to the former dwellinghouse to form a storage building and continued siting of static caravan for use as storage. The planning was approved on 20th June 2023 and any interested party can view this by visiting www.dumgal.gov.uk/planning using the planning ref: 22/2480/FUL.

For the keen distiller or for those already in the business, Dalton Distillery still has most of the infrastructure in place such as the bar / restaurant (excluding appliances) is very well fitted i.e. Corian counter tops, smoked glass, sophisticated multi- colour LED’s etc. The outside keg shed is connected to beer taps. In addition, a large, converted barbecue hut which was formerly used as the gin shop is located within the courtyard and benefits from electricity laid in. The hut was licenced and in the past was used for drinking parties up to 16 people. For those who see this as a development opportunity, this building did benefit from planning permission for conversion to residential in 2015, planning ref’ 15/P/4/0243. Again, any interested party wishing to pursue this would need to contact Dumfries & Galloway Council’s planning department.
