Royal Lochnagar Visitor Centre

Full time, permanent

Closing Date: 16th March 2025

Royal Lochnagar distillery is situated just one mile from Balmoral Castle and sits at the foot of the Cairngorm mountains, fed by the crystal-clear water of the Scarnock springs.

Originally called New Lochnagar, it was renamed following a royal visit from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1848. Today, the distillery combines the traditional pagoda kiln heads, and techniques like the open mash tun, with expert-led tours and tastings to help whisky lovers discover the story of Royal Lochnagar, its scenic setting and, most importantly, its beloved whisky.
