| Pronunciation | |
| Meaning | Because of the local topography the stream appears to run uphill! So local people called this backward-running burn the “Daft” Burn. Inevitably, the mill that it powered became known as “Daft Mill”. |
| Information | The Cuthbert family have grown malting barley in the
Howe of Fife for six generations. However, with the completion of a new micro-distillery on the farm, the family now hope to capture the spirit of the land in a bottle. The first bottle will be for sale around 2015. |
