The hidden Edinburgh gin distillery where you can learn how to make the perfect cocktail

In the heart of Leith, close to the historic docks where Edinburgh's connection to the gin trade first began, you'll find an exciting new distillery where you can learn all about this exciting spirit.

Lind & Lime Distillery, which recently opened on Coburg Street, has an unassuming exterior but inside you'll find a beautiful interior tasting space and bar where you can not only taste their incredibly popular gin but also perfect your cocktail-making skills.

Named for James Lind, the famous Edinburgh-born Navy surgeon who proved that lime could be used to treat scurvy, this top-selling gin is the brainchild of co-founders Paddy Fletcher and Ian Stirling, who are also the entrepreneurs behind the pioneering vertical Port of Leith whisky distillery which is due to be built close by.
