Note (6 January 2016)

The Castle Brewery (NT27SE 6195) was built in 1901 (http://www.archives.gla.ac.uk/sba/sbacolls/gjm.html). It is first depicted on the OS 25-inch map (Edinburghshire (1909) sheet 4.09) to the south of Criagmiller Brewery (NT27SE 4354) and east of the North British Brewery (NT27SE 3828) . Brewing ceased at the Castle Brewery in 1966.

Information from Peter McKeague (Survey and Recording, Historic Environment Scotland) 6 January 2015.
