Ainslie and Co

Margaret Ainslie was granted the renewal of the licence for the Nairn Brewery in 1898, instead of David Bernard Rose; the brewery was then renamed the St Bernard's Brewery. Margaret's son Robert then traded as Ainslie & Co, until 1903.

Amongst the beers produced at the brewery were Extra Stout and Sparkling Dinner Ale.
