brickmakers

This is a list of Scottish brickmakers, brickworks and brick managers and agents as gleaned from numerous internet documents. They are listed here until I can determine and confirm an association with a particular brickworks. One this has been achieved I will move the information below to the relevant page on my website.

They are added here meantime to ensure they are recorded and available for research.
