Description

Glen Scotia Distillery, located on High Street in Dalintober, Campbeltown, was established in 1832 and rebuilt in 1897. It is a three-storey and attic, eleven-bay malt barn with a rectangular plan. The walls are made of random rubble, harled on the principal front and sides, featuring droved ashlar margins and projecting cills.

On the northern (principal) elevation, the ground floor has segmental-arched openings at the first, fourth, and sixth bays. There is a pend arch at the first bay with stop-chamfered corners, and an entrance door at the second bay with concrete steps. Additional windows are located to the left of the ninth and tenth bays, along with another entrance door to the left of the eleventh bay. The first and second floors have regular fenestration, with loading doors in gabled dormers that break the eaves only to the left of the fifth and ninth bays.

The western elevation is a blank gable with a single ground floor window to the left of centre. The southern (rear) elevation is four-storey, with a basement visible to the right of adjoining modern warehouses, obscuring most of the elevation. It features a flat-arched pend with a brick relieving arch in the outer right bay, a basement door to the left, and a bipartite window above the pend. The second floor has regular fenestration, all with stugged red sandstone dressings. Tie-bars with cast-iron cross ends are also present.

The windows on the principal front are four-pane timber sash and case, with iron bars on the ground floor windows to the left of the ninth bay. There are vertically-boarded two-leaf doors with iron hinges at the arched openings of the fourth and sixth bays, and a rear basement door, with a single-leaf door at the second bay featuring a two-pane fanlight above. The upper floors have vertically-boarded two-leaf shutters with four-pane lights above, although these are obscured by external boarding. The northern pitch of the grey slate roof has overhanging eaves for the dormers, while the southern pitch is covered with profiled metal sheeting. Cast-iron gutters and downpipes complete the exterior.

Inside, the distillery features timber floors supported by timber joists, which are held up by cast-iron beams and columns that survive at the western end of the building.

To the east and south of the malt barn are surviving warehouses, which are large, three-storey, roughly L-shaped structures made of random rubble with stugged margins. They mostly have small windows for bonded storage and feature piended grey slate roofs.
