This is unbelievable. I was sure that I'd posted this a long, long time ago*. I'd already created the map and everything. Never mind. I've done it now.
By 1928, there were only 4 towns in Scotland with more than one brewery: Edinburgh, Alloa, Glasgow and Dundee. Though in Dundee both breweries were owned by the same firm, Ballingall. The Scottish brewing industry was becoming increasingly concentrated in Edinburgh and, to a lesser degree, Alloa. Of the 41 breweries in the table, 19 were in Edinburgh and 6 in Alloa. And, with the exception of Tennent in Glasgow and Aitken in Falkirk, most of the breweries outside the two main centres were pretty small.
What should I do first, map or table? Let's go with map, shall we? It shows clearly the concentration of breweries in the central belt between Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Next there's the table. A word of warning, there are a couple of breweries missing. William Murray's second brewery in Duddingston, for example, the North British Brewery. Also Robert Younger's brewery in Duddingston.

Great. No need for much in the way of words. Not that I've any great shortage of them. But, you know, I'm a lazy git.
Next I'll be taking a closer look at the breweries in Duddingston.
* I've just noticed that I did, back in October last year. Oh well, I've added the table of breweries this time. Justification enough for repeating the map.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5445569787371915337-7577346948152689910?l=barclayperkins.blogspot.com
