Weekend to raise a Wee Dram at Kennetpans

The distillery as it is now
The distillery as it is now

A historic Fife distillery will be the focus of free activities organised by the Inner Forth Landscape Initiative this weekend.

Built in the early 18th Century, Kennetpans, near Kincardine, was once one of the largest and most technologically advanced distilleries, producing vast quantities of spirit, exported far and wide.

Before shipping, the spirit was stored in a large warehouse behind the main distillery building.

The primary focus of IFLI’s Wee Dram at Kennetpans project, led by Historic Environment Scotland, is this distillery building, which is undergoing extensive clearance and consolidation to preserve it for future generations.

But IFLI would like to know more about the wider site, and has teamed up with AOC Archaeology to work with volunteers to undertake a weekend project focused on the warehouse building.

This weekend volunteers will join with the IFLI team to help survey the building and produce an accurate record of its current condition.

There will be a whole host of activities, from archaeological survey and drawing through to photogrammetry and laser scanning.

These days the whole site is quieter with much of it being reclaimed by nature.

Stonework is covered in ivy, the warehouse now “stores” woodland and the mudflats by the pier provide food for wading birds.

As part of the Kennetpans weekend, IFLI and Buglife will be carrying out a free Bioblitz on nature tomorrow.

This is a rapid survey of wildlife of all types, and the public is invited to take part whether they are experienced naturalists, students looking to develop identification skills or families with an interest in nature.

IFLI will be aiming to explore the site and create as many new wildlife records as they can and add these new records to the Inner Forth Nature Counts iRecord form which is helping to build a better picture of wildlife in the landscape.

On Sunday people can learn speed sketching skills and tips from the Edinburgh Sketcher Mark Kirkham.

During a tour they can learn or improve speed sketching skills and pick up tips to document the world in ink and paper.

All ages and abilities will have the chance to join in.

Limited places are still available for this weekend’s events but advance booking is essential via the IFLI team on 01324 831568 or info@innerforthlandscape.co.uk.

Details of events are available at www.innerforthlandscape.co.uk/eventscal.
