This glass beer bottle was found in Holyrood Park. It was made by brewers Steel & Coulson. They worked in the Croft-an-Righ Brewery from 1874 to 1960. The brewery was next to Holyrood Park, so the bottle did not travel far. The building is still there but is no longer used as a brewery.

Beer was a useful drink in the 19th century as water could make you ill. The process of turning water into beer would kill bugs in it and make it safe to drink.
