True , the Fountain Brewery as it stands today largely dates from 1973, and few traces of William McEwan's original 1856 structure remain, but the plant has come to represent the continuity of Edinburgh's role as an internationally-recognised brewing centre. With the former Deuchar's brewery in Montrose and Maclay's Thistle Brewery in Alloa also facing demolition, we should be more grateful than ever for the existence of the Scottish Brewing Archive, which can preserve at least some tangible part and some spirit of these lost breweries, even when new houses and business units rise on their sites.
