Traditional complex of distillery buildings in rubble with tooled ashlar dressings, partly white-washed. The tall Kiln is topped by an ogee roof with louvred pagoda cupola, whilst the slightly lower Barley Drying Mill is similarly ogee-roofed. A long 2 storey 13 bay slated Malt Barn projects at an angle.
Coleburn Distillery is understood to have been constructed in 1897 by John Robertson and Son Ltd (Dundee blenders), the distillery closing in 1913 before being purchased by Clynelish Distillery Co Ltd. Scottish Malt Distillers Ltd taking the distillery over in 1930 and running it until closure in 1985. (The Distilleries of Scotland)
