The Old Co-Operative Grain Store (also known as The Granary) [1] is a Category B listed building in Portsoy, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Dating to the late 18th century, it stands in Shorehead, on the western side of Portsoy harbour. [2] [3] The harbour itself is Category A listed, dating to 1692. [4]
The building has a forestair leading to a first-floor entrance in the southern gable. It also has a corrugated asbestos roof featuring ventilators on its ridge. Historic Scotland assessed the building in a group containing 10 Shorehead, the adjacent Corf Warehouse and the harbour. [2]
The grain store was one of six buildings in the harbour owned by Tom Burnett-Stuart. When he died, in January 2020, he left the buildings in the care of North East Scotland Preservation Trust (NESPT). The building's façade was remodelled in 2018. [1]
The building doubled as the home of Clement Freres Whisky warehouse in the television series Peaky Blinders . [1] [5]
