Lady Wynd Brewing Company

The Lady Wynd Brewing Company was established in 1840 as a partnership between Thomas Greig, a baker, and David Reid, a grocer.

When David died in 1848 the brewery passed to his son Alexander, and Thomas carried on the business, as tenant, on his own account.

Breweries and other buildings

The Lady Wynd Brewery may have been the premises used by Thomson and Son in 1837 before the business moved to the newly built Burnside Brewery in 1840. This would fit with the first known occupation of the brewery by the Lady Wynd Brewing Company in 1840.

In 1849 the brewery was described as a small establishment for the manufacture of small beer, being two storeys high, and in good repair.
