Scope and Content Plan of barley-loft of malt-barn at Port Ellen, Islay, Argyll The malt barn at Port Ellen is typical of its kind. It was built to process large batches of barley, turning them into malt. The elevator lifts the barley onto the conveyor belt or 'barley band'. The barley bogie spreads it on the barley loft floor. The grain trickles through the chutes onto the barley band and back to the elevator. The system of elevator, barley band and bogie is needed because the stored grain must be kept dry and well aired before it is turned to malt by soaking it in the steeps and allowing it to germinate on the malting floor. It is then dried in the kiln. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
