Scope and Content Balmoral Brewery Maltings, No 36 Calton Road, Edinburgh This brewery was probably established in the mid-19th century, and may have been rebuilt in the 1890s, when there was much rebuilding of breweries in and around Edinburgh. It had closed by 1937, and only the maltings was left by 1966. This view, taken from Regent Road, shows the brewery maltings from the north-west, with its pagoda-roofed malt kiln. The kiln roof is of a distillery type, most unusual in a brewery maltings, and suggests a date in the 1890s. The rest of the brewery was probably ranged round the courtyard to the right. By 1966 the maltings was used as a motor repair workshop. In the 1980s the building, with Craigwell Brewery across the road, was converted into housing, to designs by Nicholas Groves-Raines, architect, one of the first conversions of its kind in Edinburgh.
