William McEwan established a brewery in Fountainbridge, Edinburgh in the 1850's. His company, following a couple of mergers in the 20th century, developed into Scottish and Newcastle Breweries Ltd. Scottish and Newcastle closed the Fountain Brewery in 2004, and both parts of the site, to the north and south of Fountainbridge, are to be redeveloped.

Fountainbridge is an area in the south-west of central Edinburgh, to the west of Tollcross. The area is centred around the western section of a road also called Fountainbridge. The Union Canal now begins in this area having originally extended a little further east.
