The proposed Kingsbarns distillery in Fife has taken a massive step forwards with the securing of enough Scottish Government cash to pay for 30% of the project.
The planned distillery received a grant of more than £670,000 from the Food Processing Marketing and Cooperation scheme, putting it on track to start building work this year and begin distillation in 2014.
This was after it appealed against the original award of some £558,000.
