A rural distillery has been told it no longer has to give neighbours a two week warning about upcoming evening events after licensing chiefs were told the rule was 'a hefty burden' and 'difficult to enforce'.
Glenkinchie Distillery, in East Lothian, was issued with the condition three years ago after residents living next to it raised concerns about noise from a new outdoors garden area.
At the time it was claimed all but one resident in the hamlet of Glenkinchie itself, had objected to the proposals - and that the one resident who did not complain worked for the distillery itself.
