MACALLAN DISTILLERY

The public can now visit the striking contemporary Macallan whisky distillery, designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners and landscaped by Gillespies. The distillery is cut into the rolling Speyside landscape at Easter Elchies, northeast Scotland, amid farmland used for growing barley, and takes its cue from ancient Scottish earthworks. The four vast distillery tanks are hidden under an undulating green roof – said to be one of the most complicated roof structures in the world – which is planted with a meadow of Scottish wildflowers. rsh-p.com/projects/ the-macallan-distillery
