Joint Cadet Centre, High Street, Forres

The Joint Cadet Centre in Forres, designed by Charles C Doig in 1909-10, is a drill hall featuring a two-storey front block with gables that break the wallhead, and a double height hall located behind it. Adjoining the rear is a later single-storey rectangular rifle range. The building is made of rock-faced sandstone with ashlar margins. The central bay of the main elevation is slightly set forward, adorned with a carving of a stag's head and a scroll inscribed with 'GUIDICH 'N RICH', above a larger scroll that reads '6TH BATTN SEAFORTH HIGHLANDERS'. To the right of the central bay, there are bipartite windows with a stone mullion, and a blank shield is present in the gablehead. The structure features a base course and a string course between the ground and first floors, while the gables are shouldered with cavetto moulded skewputts. The rifle range, built after 1938, is made of rubble stone with a rendered gable facing North Road, topped with a corrugated roof and equipped with ventilators. Additionally, there are two brick lean-to extensions at the rear of the drill hall and the east elevation of the rifle range.

The windows are mainly 4-pane upper sashes over plate glass in timber frames. The roof is pitched and slated, featuring coped wallhead stacks, straight skews, and moulded skewputts. The rainwater goods are primarily cast iron with decorative brackets.

Inside, as observed in 2015, the front block contains offices and a staircase with turned timber balusters and newel posts. The rear hall has a timber boarded ceiling supported by metal trusses, and the hall and circulation areas have timber boarding up to the dado rail. The roof of the rifle range is also supported on timber trusses.
