Behind every great neighbourhood is a great story—and Fountainbridge has one worth telling.
Industrial Roots
Once a hub of Edinburgh’s brewing industry, Fountainbridge was home to the famous McEwan’s Brewery, which for decades filled the air with the smell of hops. Alongside it stood the North British Rubber Company, producing everything from boots to hot-water bottles.
A New Chapter
When the industry moved on, the area began a transformation. The old brewery site made way for a masterplan that would reconnect the city to the Union Canal, bring in new homes, public spaces, and community facilities.
New Fountainbridge’s Place in the Story
Today, New Fountainbridge stands as part of this regeneration—a contemporary canalside community that honours the area’s heritage while looking firmly to the future. Architectural details nod to the site’s past, while modern design and landscaping signal the next phase in its life.
