City of Edinburgh Council’s development sub-committee has unanimously granted consent for Artisan’ proposals to develop the historic Caledonian Brewery site in Shandon into a residential neighbourhood with 168 homes.

Sitting at the western edge of Edinburgh’s city centre, the Caledonian Brewery was the capital’s last major brewery prior to closure in 2022. The brewery was founded in 1869 by George Lorimer and Robert Clark and its B-listed Victorian buildings provide a reminder of the city’s once extensive brewing heritage.
