The distillery was designed by Charles Doig, the leading distillery-designer of those days. It was described by its owner as "faced on one side by a ... plantation of Scotch firs and birches, and swept by the cool mountain breezes of Brown Muir ... in a snug corner shut off from the surrounding country ... complete itself, compact and clean with a cleanliness that can only be attained in Highland air."
