History was made in Northumberland as two stills for the county's first whisky distillery arrived in Wooler, with a parade on the town's high street to welcome them.
The stills are set to form the 'beating heart' of the Ad Gefrin distillery, one part of the new £10.4m visitor centre, which is one of the largest ever investment projects seen in north Northumberland. As well as the distillery, there will also be a a museum which explores the Golden Age of Northumbria, a bistro restaurant, a bar and a gift shop.
A Northumbrian piper and fiddler led a parade on Thursday, followed by two vintage trucks and two articulated lorries, which carried the stills to Ad Gefrin, a new multi-million pound visitor centre due to open in north Northumberland this autumn. Locals lined the streets waving Northumberland and Ad Gefrin flags under clear blue skies to an almost carnival atmosphere.
