The Scottish brewing industry in the 20th century was very concentrated, with virtually nothing outside the heavily populated central belt. Not such a surprise, really, as it contained most of the country’s large urban areas such as Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee.
Eventually large swathes of the country had no breweries at all. In the 1870’s things weren’t quite that bad, but the process of concentration in the more populated areas was already underway. And a couple of towns – Edinburgh and Alloa – were beginning to dominate the industry. While Glasgow, the most populous city in Scotland, had surprisingly few brewers.
Here’s a breakdown by region:

You can see that more than 50% of the breweries were in the central belt. There were still a surprising number of breweries in the North, but these were mostly in Aberdeenshire. The Highlands was limited to a couple of breweries in Inverness.
