Rothes lies between Ben Aigen and the Conerock hill and is home to five distilleries nestling discretely along the main street. The Glenrothes distillery was completed in 1878 and sits beside the Burn of Rothes. It is said the first whisky came off the stills on a windy night in 1879 - the same night the Tay Rail Bridge collapsed.
