When Diageo closed down the Johnnie Walker distillery in Glasgow, I was in there like a shot, but when the bottling plant in Kilmarnock closed a bit later it was a trickier nut to crack - I had several goes around the beginning of the year, and got into a few bits of it, but it was very secure with loads of CCTV, 3-4 guards and even those infrared barrier things. Not fun.

So I left it for a bit, and left it a little too long I think - it's mostly stripped out, but there are still some decent things to see. Anyhow, pictures:

This is inside the bridge in the first image - it's an angled conveyor for barrels:

Amazing photos and very interesting. My papa worked there, and I had a tour with the school in the 90s. Thanks for sharing.

The plant is now gone and the ground holds Ayrshire College (Kilmarnock Campus) as well as The Halo.
