J and J Miller

James Cairns Miller and his cousin James Miller acquired the business of Andrew Colquhoun & Co around 1899, thereafter trading under the name of J. & J. Miller. In 1900 the partnership was dissolved, and James Cairns Miller continued the business at the St Ninian's Well Brewery on his own account, under the same name, until 1917.

Amongst the beers produced by the company were: 81/- Sparkling Pale Ale, 90/- Sparkling Pale Ale, D. B. Stout, Malt Stout, Scotch Porter, Sparkling Table Beer, and Table Beer.
