Brewers Bush is one of a number of cottages improved, or built, by Robert Dundas (hence "RD" set in the gablehead) of Arniston in the late 19th century. Much of the work was designed by the Gorebridge architect, Robert Smith. Brewers Bush and a row of cottages nearby appear to be all that survives of what was once a small village. The appearance of the cottage on the 1st Edition OS Map suggests that there may originally have been a smaller building on the site which was enlarged.
