Evaporator House (producing Malt concentrate). Interior view showing a group of evaporator pans comprising a 4-batch evaporator arrangement. Most of the pans are made from copper, were built by Campbell & McLean of Glasgow, date from 1912 onwards, and have been modified and/or extended. There are, in addition, four single pans, including the 1933 Govan-built unit situated outside to the S side of the building. This is thought to be the last site in the UK to use evaporator pans of this type.
