The Borders Distillery brass plaque

Commemorative plaque

What is recorded here

This brass commemorative plaque records: At eleven minutes past ten in the morning of March 6th, 2018 the "first nip" of new make spirit flowed from the stills of The Borders Distillery (R), the first Scotch Whisky distillery in the Scottish Borders since 1837. This restored Victorian building celebrates Hawick's rich, enduring industrial tradition and bright future. We thank the people of this great town for their support and enthusiasm.
The Borders Distillery marks the revival of Scotch Whisky production in the Scottish Borders after a 181-year hiatus, symbolizing the region's industrial heritage and future prospects.
