Clach Biorach

Within sight of the distillery lies a great ‘stelae’, an ancient standing stone, the Clach Biorach. This ancient monument was used to mark arrival and passage of special moments in time. The stone is a fitting symbol to stand so close to Balblair with its traditions and exclusively Vintage whisky.

The Picts were a confederation of tribes living in what was to become known as Scotland. A society built on strong beliefs and philosophies; they expressed much of their culture through art.

The Clach Biorach was the heart of the Pictish community; it was their Gathering Place. Today, 2,000 years after the Picts, people still gather around the stone to see the sunlight pour over the Ardross Hills, marking key festival dates in the ancient calendar.
