6 Imperial Cottages, Imperial Distillery, Carron

A terrace of six cottages, dating circa 1900 and built by Charles Doig, originally provided housing for workers at the Imperial Distillery, which was established in 1897. The cottages face south and comprise five pairs of single-storey and attic, two-bay structures. The exterior is of pinned mixed rubble with dressed ashlar details. The roofs are piended, sloping low over the side elevations, with the main entrance located in the centre of the return walls, breaking the wallhead under a decorative gablet and featuring a double-leaf plank door. Most windows contain four panes of glazing. Dormers, likely added slightly later, are present at the front and rear. Two coped stacks rise through the roof, one on the north and one on the south side, flanking a short central ridge. The cottages have slate roofs with projecting eaves. They appear on the 1903 Ordnance Survey map. Additional documentation can be found at the Moray District Record Office.
