Abhainn Dearg distillery (/ˈævɪn ˈdʒɛərɡ/ AV-in JAIRG) or Red River distillery is a Scotch whisky distillery in Uig, on the west coast of the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.[2] It is the most westerly distillery in Scotland. The name is Scottish Gaelic for "Red River" which itself takes its name from a bloody skirmish in the dark ages when local people won a battle against Viking marauders.[2]
