Scope and Content Fountain Brewery, Fountainbridge, Edinburgh This brewery was built for William McEwan & Co, and was one of the largest breweries in Scotland. It had been regularly modernised behind its Victorian frontage. McEwans amalgamated with William Younger's in 1931 as Scottish Brewers Ltd. This shows the Fountainbridge frontage of the brewery from the south-west. The building on the left was probably built to house the cast iron tanks in which the wort was cooled before fermentation, before mechanical refrigeration was developed. This brewery was replaced in about 1970 by a new highly mechanised one on the opposite side of the road, on the site of the former North British Rubber Works. The old buildings were demolished.
