Scope and Content Castle Brewery, Duddingston Road West, Edinburgh The area to the south of Duddingston village was developed for brewing in the late 19th century, after the opening of the Edinburgh, Suburban & Southside Junction Railway in 1884. This was one of six large breweries which were built in the area at that time. This shows the brewery from the south. The building nearest to the camera (apart from the pigeon lofts) was probably a beer store. The brewhouse, with its roof-ridge ventilator, is to the left, and the maltings are to the right. This brewery was built by Maclachlans Ltd, originally the Glasgow concern of G & J Maclachlan, with a brewery in Maryhill. The company was taken over in 1960 by J & R Tennent, who put their name on this brewery, but who were in turn taken over in 1963 by Charringtons, who closed this brewery.
