I’ve been trying to save a bit of Scotland’s heritage with the beer founts that are in a decline.  These are purely a Scottish thing and are really only found in Edinburgh now.  I started repairing them at the beginning of the year and a bit of a revolution has come about!  I’m now making new ones and sorting the old units!

There’s been a bit of a media frenzy going on here about it!  Have a look, as will see my website skills have not improved with age!

I stumbled across your site again because I was digging about trying to find out info on Aitken of Edinburgh, they made these units in the 80’s and were the last to make tall founts in Scotland (until now), the company folded in 1990.  They had a workshop in Morningside, 46 Balcarres Street, which I suspect used to be a small iron foundry that was repurposed into making these brass founts.
