Description Interior. Distillery building, south range, west wall, view from east showing arched openings int grain milling area. This would have supported the overhead main drive from which a belt and pulley system would have been fitted. This would allow the driving of machinery on the ground and upper floors if necessary. The grain miling area would have contained mill stones which ground the dried, malted barley into a meal.

Scope and Content Barley is steeped, germinated on a floor (when known as green malt), turned to keep cool, then dried in a kiln to halt germination. The kilned, malted barley is milled to produce grist which would then be put through the 'mashing' process where the grist is heated in 'liquor' or hot water (producing wort) prior to mixing with more hot water and fermented to produce 'wash' to which yeast is added. The wash is heated in stills and distilled to produce whisky.
