Scope and Content Bowling green and pavilion, Glenkinchie Distillery, Pencaitland, East Lothian, from west Glenkinchie Distillery was established in 1837 by brothers John and George Rate, who went bankrupt in 1853 leading to the closure of the site and its reuse as a cowshed. In 1880 the Glen Kinchie Distillery Company rebuilt the premises, and production began once more. The floor maltings were last used in 1968, and now house a museum of malting. The distillery continues to produce whisky for Haig's blends. This shows the bowling green and pavilion associated with the distillery. The neatly cut lawn is bordered by a pond and small trees. The pavilion is built from brick with a deep porch to shelter spectators from the weather. Many distillery owners built workers' cottages to house their staff close to their place of work, and some even provided hostels to house staff when bad weather cut off isolated sites. The bowling green at Glenkinchie is an unusual example of a distillery providing leisure facilities. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
