Notes for Charles Chree Doig
Charles' birth certificate did not contain a middle name. Rev. Charles Chree D.D. (1827-1893) became minister of Lintrathen parish about the time of his birth. His parents attended church there, and this man appears to be the source of his name.
Charles was educated at the Braes of Coul village school. Aged 14, he received a prize for 'Arithmetic, etc.' and a year later for 'General Scholarship'. After having left school (probably in 1870), he started working with Mr. John Carver in Meigle. Carver was a well-known architect in the area.
In 1881 Charles was an unmarried civil engineer living at Wester Quarter, Alyth with his aunt Jessie Steel, a widow and laundress, age 55 born in Glenisla. In 1882, Charles and his young family moved to Elgin, where he became assistant to Mr. H. M. S. Mackay, a land surveyor. After becoming a partner, Charles took over the business, and developed himself into an architect and civil engineer. In or around 1908, the business became C.C. Doig and Sons. In 1891 and 1901 Charles lived in Elgin, Moray with his wife and 3 sons.
On the 25th [28] September 1918, Charles was out shooting on the Dallas moors together with his youngest son Alexander. He became unwell and was taken to the village inn at Dallas. Although everything was done to try and save him, he died that same day. In his obituary in the "Northern Scot and Moray & Nairn Express" it was written: 'Additions and reconstructions were extensively undertaken by many distillers of Highland malt whisky, and in all this work the services of Mr Doig as an architect were very much in demand. All over Scotland and in the north of Ireland his work was well-known, and in the course of his professional career he formed many warm friendships among the distillers. In matters of arbitration and valuation he was much in request, his keen business ability, combined with fairness of judgement, being readily recognised.'
An extract of Charles' Will reads: Charles Chree Doig, Architect and Civil Engineer, Gordon Street, Elgin, died 28 September 1918, at Dallas Village, testate. Confirmation granted at Elgin, 25 February, to Mrs. Margaret Doig, William Howie Doig, Architect, Charles James Dick Doig, Architect, and Alexander Lawson Doig, C.A., all of Gordon Street aforesaid, and Donald Mustard, Solicitor, Elgin, Executors nominated in Will or Deed, dated 20 November 1914, and recorded in Court Books of Commissariot of Elgin, 24 February 1919. Value of Estate, £45,419. 1s. 11d. The will was sealed in London on 10 Apr 1919.
After Charles' death, William and Charles Jnr. continued the business and the Doig archive at the Elgin Library contains 1237 plans, dated between 1859 and 1965, from C.C. Doig and Sons. Just over 500 of these plans have a date prior to Doig's death and among those are designs for farms, hotels, rifle ranges, schools, breweries, drill halls, country houses, cemeteries, inns, a golf course, copper works, railways, a harbour, churches, rope works, water supplies, a hospital, and the list goes on.
And distilleries of course, almost 100 of them. According to the Doig archive inventory list, the first distillery that Doig was involved with was Glenburgie, in 1881. But the distillery that will always be most linked to his name is Dailuaine. Doig was involved with Dailuaine from 1882 onwards, and the most significant moment came on the 3rd of May, 1889. Mackenzie & Co., the owners of Dailuaine, commissioned Doig to make alterations to their maltings, with the specific aim of improving the efficiency of the chimneys at drawing off the peat smoke.
For further information on the architecture of Charles Chree Doig see the "Celtic Spirit Whisky Journal" at www.celticmalts.com/journal-a21.htm and http://www.whiskymag.com/news/1153.html. Some of the above information is taken from that journal.

Notes from "Eighty-Eight years at Sayward-Kelsey Bay and Port Neville, Hardwicke Island," by Frances Duncan (Courtenay, BC:, Argus, date?), pp 45, 48: "May 1st of 1903: "S.E.W. Showery nearly all day. Doig called during the day. In the afternoon Bergland and Johnson came over from their camp." (Johnson and Berland were Swedes. They had a little steamer which burned wood and bark for fuel. They logged over on Vancouver Island. The place was called 'Bergland's Cove.' They were frequent visitors.)" "Saturday, May 16th 1903: "W.W. About 10 am Fraser, Pope and McMillen came down from Fraser's camp. I went out to the 'Cassiar' with Pope. Bob Brotherton and another man landed. All had supper. Got a letter from Alex Burchett for his Dad which I gave to Doig to take over. Wind still blowing this evening and all hands propose staying all night. They did stay, Fraser and McMillen in the house, Bob and the other man occupied the cabin." "Another old timer, Mr. Ebenezer Doig, nicknamed "the Professor," had come out from Glasgow, Scotland, many years ago. He told many interesting tales of his "hobo" days. Once when traveling in the States with a companion, they stopped overnight in an empty house. When the daylight came the next morning, they saw a sign reading "Pest-house" and got out pronto. He really was a fine, educated man and came from a good Scotch family. He took up, that is pre-empted, the place next to ours; but it was lonely there so he spent most of his time in one of our cabins. He went to Rivers' Inlet fishing in the summer and trapped here in the winter. He killed quite a number of cougars. Mr. Doig called his boat "Lib" after his sister. He passed away in Vancouver at a ripe old age. (Another fisherman Jack Wilson, a Dane was with Doig a great deal.)" .
