General

In 1709 Andrew Thomson inherited the business of his father-in-law, Mr Brown, who was a brewer and vintner in the Grassmarket, Edinburgh, Scotland. About 20 years later the business was moved to “The Vaults”, Leith, Scotland, which were bought by the company on 29 July 1782.

The firm of J G Thomson & Co was founded by James Gibson Thomas in 1785 at the Vaults to supply goods like whisky, brandy and wines. James Gibson Thomson jnr , the son of the company’s founder, was associated with the company from 1820 to 1876.
