The Rosebank distillery was situated in Camelon on the banks of the Forth-Clyde Canal between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The origins of the distillery in Camelon are hazy but whisky was distilled here as far back as far as 1817. Activities of the distillery become clearer in the 1840's and buildings from the 1850's and 60's still survive.
Rosebank Distillery Ltd. was formed in 1894 and in 1914 it was among the companies that amalgamated to form the Scottish Malt Distillers before the group became part of DCL.
Rosebank was considered one of the premiere lowland whiskies but the final owner Diageo closed the distillery in 1993.
As of 2006, parts of the distillery have been demolished to make way for a housing development on the site and portions of the warehouse have been converted into a "Beefeater" restaurant.
