The companies who have run or had an interest in Pilmuir Works.

David Inglis and Sons
It is not clear whether this firm had any direct connection with Pilmuir. However, one of its partners, David Gavin Scott, would appear to have unsuccessfully experimented with steam power at Pilmuir in 1847.

Andrew Reid & Co.
Founded by brothers, Andrew Reid (b.1805) and Henry Reid (b.1808), they established their business on the site in 1849 and are credited as having successfully introduced steam power to the site, the first in Dunfermline to do so. Henry Reid subsequently left in 1860 to set up Abbey Gardens Works

The 1914 Who’s Who in Business describes Hay and Robertson as follows.

HAY & ROBERTSON, Ltd., Linen and Cotton Damask Manufacturers and Embroiderers, St. Margaret’s Works, Foundry Street, Dunfermline, Fife.
