Found by Ian Suddaby on the River North Esk, Dalkeith.
Robert Brown & Son, Ferguslie Fireclay Works and Caledonian Brick and Tile Works, Paisley.
The LTD on the end of the frog is unusually positioned and in a mirror image.

The ‘Robert’ is missing from the brick but I am very confident it would have originally read as such.
