Glenlivet Distillery

Glenlivet Distillery was founded on this site in 1858 by George Smith.

The offices are a two-storey building with a dry dash finish and a double gabled north elevation. The first section on the left dates from around 1880 and was extended around 1924. The 1880 block features a pair of narrow windows on each floor, while the 1924 block has a round-arched doorway with a moulded and keystoned architrave to the left, a bipartite window to the right, and three irregularly placed sash and case windows on the first floor. All windows, except one, have four panes. The adjoining production buildings to the south and west have been much altered and are not listed. The interior is largely panelled in pitch pine, with some matchboarding now painted.

The warehouses consist of two ranges made of flagstone coursed rubble with dry-rendered fronts, originally three but with the centre block demolished, likely built between 1858 and 1880. The south range includes two low blocks, with the right-hand one altered from two gabled sections to one. It has four glazed upper levels featuring a distinctive arched centre window flanked by bull's eye windows, all framed in cast iron. The earliest section has a rounded gable, while the other three, dated 1880, are identical and located to the north. The side elevation has four bays with multipane iron-framed windows, and the roofs are covered with corrugated iron, with part replaced by asbestos. The north range is similar to the 1880 range and is probably from the 1880s, but it is two storeys high and has a five-bay side elevation. Access to the first floor at the south end is provided by a ramp leading to wooden platforms supported on cast-iron and timber columns, with rails laid on the ramp for moving barrels.

The visitor centre was probably built as a malt barn around 1870. It is a two-storey, five-bay structure made of coursed flagstone rubble, featuring irregularly placed buttresses between the bays, timber gables, and a corrugated-iron roof. It was adapted as a visitor centre around 1980, when two doors and a forestair were added at the rear, windows were altered, and ventilators were inserted.
