Scope and Content Tipperty Tileworks, Aberdeenshire This works was built to make tile field drains, and had four circular kilns inside a two-storey brick building, with three circular-section chimneys to provide draught for the kilns. Behind the kiln house were single-storey moulding shops This view shows the works from the wet, with the kiln house on the right. By this time the kilns were gas-fired, and the storage tank can be seen on the right. The clay for the tiles was quarried in a field to the left. This was one of the last works in Scotland to make clay drainage tiles, and closed in the 1980s. Some of the buildings survived in the mid 1990s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
