D S Ireland
David Stevenson Ireland took over the running of the Argyle Brewery when his father Rea died in 1860.
In 1861 he married into the Bonthrone family, who were noted distillers and brewers in Fife.
He died in 1890 and the brewery was then bought by a "syndicate of Edinburgh gentlemen" who established D. S. Ireland Ltd in 1892.
Location: St Andrews
Active: 1860 - 1890

Breweries and other buildings
The brewery was described as a "group of 2- and 3-storey rubble buildings" with a "3-storey brewhouse with an octagonal-section, red-and-white-brick chimney", with all the buildings having pantiled roofs.
Most of the brewery has been demolished, though the entrance to the courtyard remains.
