THEMABeschreibung
TEXTThese shipbuilding works were started in the year 1710, by the great great grandfather of the present senior partner Mr. John Scott, C.B., and have been carried on from that date by the descendants of the founder. The combined area of the works is about thirty acres; as the business has gradually expanded, the establishments are not all adjoining, but are divided into four, comprising three shipbuilding yards and the engine works.

The Cartsdyke or east yard is the oldest of the three, though not the site of the original works, which were in another part of the town. This yard contains the drawing offices and counting house, and from here all the ship-yard details are carried on. Here are six building berths, with all the necessary frame-turning, smith, joiner, carpenter, and other sheds, including a complete hydraulic plant for dealing with the heaviest class of work. The yard is served by a private siding from the Caledonian Railway. On the other side of the street are the saw mills and wood stores.

Further west towards the town is the middle yard, in which are four building berths. This yard is also fitted with all the requisite machinery for dealing with work rapidly and cheaply. Here also is a slip, on which can be hauled up vessels of 300 tons for overhaul and repair.
