A new community-owned Highland distillery has marked its latest construction milestone with the announcement that a new share offer will launch in August.
GlenWyvis Distillery Community Benefit Society has brought forward the launch of a second open share offer to open the door to new members, as visitor numbers to the area increase. The new share offer will be launched on Thursday August 3rd at the *Black Isle Show in the Scottish Highlands.
Increased tourism interest in the area has come about as a result of the North Coast 500 route taking in Dingwall, where GlenWyvis has set up its new Basecamp visitor centre.
It has also seen an influx of "Outlander" fans adding GlenWyvis to their route map as they look for the site of the original "Ferintosh" distillery in the area - the whisky of choice of the time, by lead character "Jamie", before moving on to another Outlander pit-stop at nearby Castle Leod in Strathpeffer - the inspiration for Castle Leoch in the TV series.
