Scope and Content Caledonian Brewery, Slateford Road, Edinburgh This brewery was built for Lorimer & Clark, and was a medium-sized town brewery. It was acquired in 1947 by Vaux of Newcastle, one of the first takeovers of a Scottish brewery by an English company, and run as a branch of their Newcastle operation. This shows the brewery from the west. The complex was entirely brick-built. The brewhouse is the tall building to the left of the chimney, with the maltings to the rear. This brewery is still in use. When it was decided to close it in the 1980s, there was a management buyout, and it is again operating under the name Lorimer & Clark. Two fires have taken their toll on the buildings seen here.
