Charles C. Doig

Charles Chree Doig (1855–1918) was a Scottish architect who introduced the pagoda design to Scotch whisky distilleries.

[2] After schooling, he worked for a local architect in Meigle and then from 1882 for a land surveyor in Elgin, eventually becoming a partner in the firm.

[1] There he developed a pagoda-like roof that improved the efficiency of distilleries by drawing off peat smoke in the malting process.

[4][1] Doig is credited with designing at least 56 Scotch whisky distilleries including Balblair, Dufftown, Pulteney, Speyburn and Aberlour.

[4] His distillery plans and other documents are kept in the Moray Council Local Heritage Centre.
