The owners of Edinburgh's 150-year-old Caledonian Brewery have admitted they have failed to find a buyer for the building following the recent announcement that it would close due to 'financial difficulties'.
Heineken, who own the brewery on Slateford Road, have said that despite an extensive search, the brewery has been unable to find anyone to take it on as a going concern and so it will be marketed for open sale.
In a letter from the company to Lothian MSP Miles Briggs, Heineken said that a potential future use for the site could include student accommodation, a residential development or a hotel.
