Dunbar end
Pretty sure there was a juice factory at that end of the ground called Dunbar's, might be wrong though.

Because the Dunbar Lemonade factory was behind it.

Never thought of it before, but good to know the answer anyway!
Alcohol IS the answer, but I forget the question...

They must've been over the moon with the free advertising!!
Edit: But it obviously couldn't have been that great if noone knew why it was called it

Ma Maw used to work there and I got loads of free juice. On the down side my mates used to break into it all the time and hide all their stash above the cave.

Spooky, as just this week my Jambo boss asked me whether the away end was still called the Dunbar end and in all the years i've been going to ER i never knew the origin behind the name and he had to tell me.

A lot of older guys (like me unfortunately) still refer to that end of the ground as the Dunbar end. I'm pretty sure the factory had 'Dunbar' painted on the roof in huge lettering which was clearly visible from inside the stadium.

I can also confirm that former Director of Dunbar's Lemonade, Jim Dunbar retired to Pitlochry, and graduated to working at a distillery.
There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

Here's a photo I took in August 2006 from Lochend park. The waste ground is where the railway ran.

Dunbar & Co ., whose address was 68 Albion Road.
Sir John Greig Dunbar who was Lord Provost in the early 1960s was councilor for the Calton ward and was Managing Director of James Dunbar Ltd.
In my young days you got a ' penny back on the bottle' when you returned empty 'Juice' bottles to the shop
During the war, with the shortage of bottles, if you took more than half a dozen back to the works you got a FULL bottle instead of money

What was the name of the other Drinks factory in Edinburgh around the 70's
Hendersons? Tried a google but can't find anything. Might have the name wrong?

I knew someone who worked at the old drinks factory. She was really nice. I nearly married her. She was keen. I was not so keen. She is dead now.
