| 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.
