Scope and Content Croft House Museum, Southvoe, Shetland This museum was created in the 1970s from the buildings of a 19th century croft. These consist of a house and steading range, with a corn-drying kiln and barn, and three horizontal mills, one completely restored and another re-roofed. This view shows the house on the right. with the straw chimney of the central fire, and the corn-drying kiln and barn behind. This type of corn-drying kiln is a rare survival in Shetland, though relatively common in Orkney. They had a fire at the base, and a perforated floor above, on which the corn to be dried was spread.
