Distillery, Glengyle Road, Campbeltown

Distillery, built in 1873, comprising a complex of three interconnected stone buildings on Glengyle Road in Campbeltown.

The principal structure is an L-shaped warehouse of three storeys, with a north range running north-south and a south range running east-west, meeting at the south-west corner. The walls are constructed of random rubble with stugged ashlar dressings, and the principal elevations are painted white.

The north range's north elevation has three bays, with the centre bay blank at first floor. A vertically-boarded timber loading door is centred at second floor, with a cast-iron hoist projecting from an opening in the gablehead above. The east elevation spans ten bays with evenly spaced openings. A small plate glass window sits at ground floor to the left of the first bay. The bay at the right has an infilled arch at ground and first floors with brick voussoirs, later windows and doors contained within the infill, and a centre door with a 4-pane upper section and 2-pane fanlight above. A raised wallhead occupies two bays to the right, with infilled openings at the left bay. A large sliding vertically-boarded timber door stands at the left of the bay to the right, with a pedestrian door to its right. An infilled door appears at the next bay, with loading doors at floors above. A second floor door rises into a gablet breaking the eaves. A modern cantilevered timber and metal canopy occupies the bay to the right. The second bay to the right has a 2-leaf vertically-boarded timber entrance door adjacent to the left at ground floor. Single leaf vertically-boarded timber doors with iron hinges are positioned at each floor at the bay to the outer right, with the second floor door rising into a gablet breaking the eaves. The west elevation shows the gable end of the south range at the outer right with a modern opening at ground floor and a single window centring the gable at upper level. Two bays at the left have infilled openings corresponding to the east elevation, with various modern additions and alterations along the left.

The south range's north elevation displays a full-height segmental-arched opening with brick voussoirs at the outer right, fitted with 2-leaf timber doors clad in corrugated iron. A random rubble lean-to at ground floor to the left has windows flanking a central infilled opening with vertically-boarded timber shutters and iron bars, and a modern opening at the south end. The east elevation is symmetrical, with a brick infilled window (formerly a door) with iron bars centred at ground floor and a timber boarded window at upper level. The south elevation has a timber boarded window with iron bars at first floor to the outer right, and a full-height segmental-arched rubble infilled opening at the outer left with brick voussoirs, with various small brick infilled openings adjacent to the right.

Throughout, 2-pane timber windows with and without hoppers survive at some openings. The south range has a grey slate roof, while the north range is roofed in corrugated sheeting. The interior of the north range has timber floors supported on square timber columns, while the south range is floorless with an open timber roof.

The office is a single-storey, three-bay symmetrical gabled building with harled and painted random rubble walls and droved and painted ashlar dressings. Windows have raised margins and projecting cills. An infilled door centres the north elevation with flanking windows. A brick entrance gatepier projecting at the right has a corresponding rubble pier opposite, both with pyramidal cement caps. The gable end elevations are blank, and a modern addition projects at the rear. The building is fitted with 12-pane timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof with cast-iron gutter, and a 2-flue harled apex stack with circular cans to the west gable. The skew copes have been removed.

The eastern warehouse is constructed of random rubble walls with stugged ashlar dressings. Gabled elevations face north and south, with square window openings barred with iron. The roof is of corrugated metal sheeting.

Boundary walls of random rubble with concrete coping run to the east and south.
