Scope and Content St Ann's Maltings, St Clair Street, Edinburgh This maltings was built for Robert Younger Ltd, brewers, who had breweries at Abbeyhill and in Craigmillar. It was probably built after 1896, when the company was floated as a limited company. This shows the maltings from the south-east. There are blocks of malting floors at the ends, each with a pair of kilns at the inner ends, the dried malt being stored in vertical bins in the taller central malt deposit. Robert Younger Ltd was taken over by Scottish Brewers in 1960, and the firm's breweries and maltings closed. St Ann's Maltings was demolished in 1969, this photograph being taken near the start of the process. By 1979 drum malting and saladin malting had ousted the labour-intensive floor malting.
