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.
