By 1930, thanks to an abundance of good quality local spring water (and the railway) Duddingston played host to the seven breweries of Messrs Deuchar, Drybrough, Maclachlan, Raeburn, Steel Coulson, T.Y.Paterson and North British - all of them rail served. The entrance gates to the demolished Deuchar's Duddingston Brewery stand alongside Duddingston Road in March 2007 - though probably not for much longer, given the surrounding area has been cleared ready for planned new commercial developments.
