Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological works on part of the former Scottish and Newcastle brewery site in west Fountainbridge, Edinburgh. The work was required to meet a planning condition placed on a proposed student accommodation development. Historical map evidence showed that the development area overlay the site of several mid-19th century tenements and industrial works, including part of the Viewforth Works of the Scottish Vulcanite Company. A programme of trial trenching revealed that the site had been substantially disturbed during two phases of demolition, but some areas of archaeological remains had survived. These remains were explored further with four areas of open excavation; one targeted at the tenements at Bainfield Place, the other three at remains of the Viewforth Works. The first area exposed the foundations of four tenements, associated drainage works and garden walls, and two WWII air-raid shelters. The demolition of the tenements in the late 20th century had removed all above surface remains, with no occupation levels remaining in situ. The remaining areas revealed a number of structures relating to several phases of the Viewforth Works, including a large brick-floored building, a clay-lined tank, the base of the main chimney with associated brick surfaces, and several brick drains and ducts. Most had been heavily truncated during the redevelopment of the Works in the 1950s, and by the recent demolition of these later buildings. Jurgen van Wessel (Headland Archaeology Ltd) 2011.
