| Notes | Bere barley was grown in large amounts up until the early 20th century. After this period, it was kept alive by small crofters and farmers in the likes of the Orkney Islands, Shetland Islands and the Western Isles. Orkney is the only place where Bere Barley is still grown for human consumption and for Bere meal production, used for making traditional biscuitsBannock) for tourists (SASA., 2022). |
