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 south-eastern section of the maltings from the west. There are five storeys of malting floors to the right, with barley stores in the attics. The tallest section is the malt deposit, with cast iron tieplates indicating the vertical divisions between storage bins. The kilns are on either side of the central section. 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.
