9 Imperial Cottages, Imperial Distillery, Carron

A terrace of five pairs of single-storey and attic cottages, built around 1900 by Charles Doig as housing for workers at the Imperial Distillery, which was established in 1897. The cottages face south and are constructed of pinned mixed rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. Each pair has a secondary entrance in the outer bay. The roofs are piended, sweeping low over the side elevations, with the main entrance incorporated into the centre of the return walls, breaking the wallhead under a gablet containing a double-leaf plank door. There are four-pane windows, and possibly slightly later paired dormers located at the front and back. Coped stacks rise through the roof, flanking a short ridge. The slate roof has projecting eaves. The cottages appear on the 1903 Ordnance Survey map. Further details relating to the statutory address and archive references are held at the Moray District Record Office.
