Strathisla, Keith, modern large distillery. architecture with Doig, Cupola, or Pagoda roofs. Seagram Co Ltd. Scottish Whisky Distillery Scotland UK
Distinctive pagodas, cobbled courtyard and picturesque buildings, Strathisla Distillery is arguably the most beautiful distillery in Scotland. Founded in 1786, it is also the oldest operating distillery in the Scottish Highlands. cupola is exactly the correct term. Although derived from Islamic architecture – massive forms of them existed and were built throughout the first millennium – much smaller and more functional cupolas were used in the 18th and 19th centuries, when they were situated on top of barns to create an updraught to dry the hay below. Damp hay can create conditions where spontaneous combustion takes place, so cupolas were essential. Thoughout the midwest of the US, the familiar form that Doig adopted can still be seen on many historic barns. They were square or octagonal in form, had louvred sides and the familiar pitched roof.
