Scope and Content Moray Park Maltings, Marionville Road, Edinburgh This large maltings was built for William Younger & Co Ltd, brewers, probably in the 1880s or 1890s, to supply malt to their Abbey and Holyrood breweries. They also had maltings in Glenogle Road and Holyrood Road. It was one of the largest maltings in Edinburgh. This shows the maltings from the south-east. The frontage of the maltings was given a baronial treatment, as it was built in a residential area. The malting floors were in the range on the right, and the linked block to the left was probably the malt deposit, where malt was stored after manufacture. William Younger & Co Ltd and William McEwan & Co Ltd amalgamated in 1931 to form Scottish Brewers Ltd, but retained their names for trading purposes. Floor maltings fell out of use in the 1960s, when mechanised drum malting took over, and this maltings was demolished in the 1970s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
