Scope and Content Courtyard, Argyle Brewery, Argyle Street, St Andrews, Fife This brewery was founded in the early 19th century by D S Ireland, and was a good example of a country-town brewery, constructed round a courtyard. St Andrews was a thriving burgh in the early 19th century, and an important market town -both good circumstances for selling beer. This shows the courtyard of the brewery, with the brewhouse and its chimney in the left corner. By 1967 the business consisted of distributing soft brinks, as the lorry and pile of wooden cases demonstrate. Most Scottish country breweries eventually succumbed to competition from the large urban brewers, and this one was no exception. However, it was later demolished in the 1970s and the site turned into a car park. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
