ARDGOWAN Distillery is to hold an open day.

The event is being held on Saturday July 22 to celebrate the start of construction work at the site.

It runs from noon-5pm.

A spokesperson said: "Our distillery will be part of the local community for a long time and we wanted to have this launch event right here in Inverkip – not in a posh hotel in Edinburgh, Glasgow or London.

"There will be lots to enjoy on the day, we have food trucks, live music, and a range of discounts on all our whisky products including a special open day bottling."
