James McGrigor

Little is known about James McGrigor, other than that he was recorded as brewer at the Nairn Brewery in 1851, after Peter Smith. He employed one man, and he lived in nearby Church Street with his wife Anne and seven children.

James's association with the brewery was short-lived, as John Carlier Tweedie became the proprietor of the Nairn Brewery in 1853.
