Speyside Cooperage Feature Page on Undiscovered Scotland. The Speyside Cooperage is accessed from the A941 Dufftown road a short distance south of Craigellachie.
There is a large visitor car park which is obvious as you enter, and disabled parking is available a little further beyond, close to the visitor centre itself. As you walk up to the visitor centre from the car park you pass a picnic area off to one side, complete with shelters made from huge barrels and the figure of a person made from a number of different size barrels. The entrance to the visitor centre is obvious from its rising metal clad roof, topped off with the traditional badge of a distillery, the pagoda that would have sat on top of a kiln.
The Speyside Cooperage's pagoda never saw active service, but it is no less appropriate in its location than the disused pagodas which top off many distilleries today, and it certainly ensures that no-one misses the link between the cooperage and the dominant industry of the area, the distillation of Scotch whisky.
