Scope and Content Brewhouse, 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 brewhouse, with its chimney serving the boiler and coppers. The use of red and white bricks and the octagonal section of the chimney suggest that this part of the brewery was rebuilt in the 1860s. Most Scottish country breweries had succumbed to competition from the large urban brewers, and this one was no exception. It was demolished in the 1970s and the site turned into a car park.
