Rosebank distillery

Rosebank Distillery is a Lowland single malt Scotch whisky distillery situated in Camelon on the banks of the Forth and Clyde canal between Edinburgh and Glasgow. The distillery was founded on its present site in 1840 by James Rankine, a local wine merchant, and within forty years the Rankine's were shipping their whisky around the world. Famed for producing a delicious, triple-distilled whisky, Rosebank gained a reputation for producing one of Scotland's finest Lowland whiskies, known as 'King of the Lowlands'. Rosebank Distillery closed its doors in 1993 and the lay empty for three decades. In October 2017, Ian MacLeod Distillers Ltd purchased the site from Scottish Canals and the trademarks from Diageo with the intention of reopening the site. After extensive restoration, production restarted at Rosebank in 2023 and the Distillery opened to visitors on 7th June 2024. Rosebank's revival is heralded as the reawakening of one of Scotland's most iconic silent distilleries. The distillery was awarded five-star status from VisitScotland within one week of opening and was named 'Best Regeneration Project' in the 2024 Herald Property Awards. In May 2025, the distillery was named as one of the winners of the annual Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) awards, and thereby longlisted for the RIAS Best Building in Scotland Award. The judges said that "the retention and restoration of the chimney, lockkeeper's cottage and red-brick buildings reflect a commitment to memory and place".

Woodlands, Falkirk

Woodlands is a large, prosperous central area (ward) of Falkirk, Stirlingshire, Scotland, which is mainly residential. Much of the ward is taken up by leafy streets where property prices are among the highest in Central Scotland (with several houses selling at over £800,000) and includes Lochgreen, Slamannan, Rosebank, Gartcows and Southern Pleasance areas (excluding property in Pleasance Gardens and Pleasance Court). Many of the Victorian and Edwardian houses were built by wealthy industrialists who had profited from Falkirk's economic prosperity during the industrial revolution, often without regard to expense. The area is close to the town centre - the shopping centre and high street are not within Woodlands, however, as the limit of the ward area is the nearby Scout Hall - and incorporates the Dollar Park, given to the town by Falkirk-born billionaire Robert Dollar, who is recorded as the 80th richest man ever to live. Dollar Park is situated on Camelon Road, one of the busiest roads in Scotland. Both the Lord Lieutenant of Stirling and Falkirk and the Chief Executive of Falkirk Council live in Woodlands.
