Strathisla Distillery, Seafield Avenue, Keith

Strathisla Distillery, located on Seafield Avenue in Keith, was founded in 1786, with buildings constructed mainly in the mid-19th century and later. The distillery features an irregular and varied range of associated buildings, primarily made of grey rubble with tooled ashlar dressings and slate roofs.

The office block is a single-storey U-shaped range that was converted from other uses, likely in the 1950s. During this conversion, window openings were enlarged, and new doors were added, creating regular fenestration to the courtyard and pair entrances with modern timber canopies. There is a further rear entrance with a shallow portico supported by a pair of slender cast-iron columns. The courtyard is closed on the east side by a short length of coped rubble wall, which includes a pair of cast-iron carriage gates and a single pedestrian gate flanked by plain square rubble gate piers with stepped pyramidal caps, installed around 1980. The east gable features re-set armorials and a projecting canted window.

The kilns consist of paired structures with twin slated shaped roofs that terminate in louvred pagoda apex vents, one topped with a cast-iron weathervane and the other with a decorative finial. The east gable of the kiln is fronted by a re-used waterwheel, adjacent to a four-storey building originally constructed as malt barns, which were converted in the 1950s for other uses. There is a rubble stillhouse to the south, featuring a double finialled gable, twin dormers, and a louvred ventilator, with an alternate slated roof.

The rear elevations of the buildings are harled, and there is a painted circular-section brick chimney at the back. The No. 12 Duty Warehouse, likely built around 1890, is a two-storey rubble warehouse with five gabled bays facing Seafield Avenue and a four-bay return on the south elevation, topped with slate roofs and a tiled ridge.
