Duty Free 553 Warehouse, Coleburn Distillery

The Coleburn Distillery complex, likely designed by Charles Doig in the late 19th century, comprises a range of buildings constructed from rubble, with dressed ashlar details, some of which has been whitewashed. The complex includes a former barley drying kiln, a kiln, a tun room, a mash house, a filling store, and a malt barn.

The tall kiln is distinguished by a louvred, pagoda-style cupola, while the slightly lower barley drying kiln has an ogee slated roof. The long, two-storey, 13-bay malt barn projects at angles, with long, regular elevations roughly north-west and south-east, and a lower first floor. It is covered by a slate roof. The duty-free warehouses have gabled elevations facing roughly north-east and south-west, with three-bay gable ends to warehouse No. 1 and four bays to No. 2, both under slate roofs.

The distillery office and Customs and Excise office combine into a single-storey, T-plan building, with entrances to each office located in the re-entrant angles. The building is gabled and has a slate roof. A long, whitewashed store, potentially a former piggery and gutted internally, also has a slate roof. A single-storey, three-bay cottage features a central door, four-pane glazing, end stacks, and a slate roof. The manager’s house is a late 19th century, single-storey and attic, three-bay house facing southwest. It has a central door, two canted dormers, four-pane glazing, projecting gabled eaves, and end stacks, topped with a slate roof.

A long, whitewashed store divided internally and with pens to the frontage was depicted on the Ordnance Survey map of 1905. Distillery cottages abutting the A941 road are not included in the listing.
