Scope and Content Fitting-out basin, Lamont & Co.'s Castle Yard, Port Glasgow, with the ferry 'Portree' Lamont & Co were shipbuilders and ship repairers. Latterly their business was mainly ship repairing. This view shown the basin used for fitting out newly constructed vessels and for repair works not requiring the use of the slipway. The ferry would have been at Lamont's for her annual overhaul. Most of Lamont's yard was demolished in the late 1970s for road construction, but one of the piers in the background has been retained, the only sign that there was ever a yard on this site.
