Scope and Content Scotstoun Shipyard, No 903 South Street, Glasgow This yard was founded in 1861 by Charles Connell. It was enlarged and modernised on several occasions, and was consistently one of the most profitable shipbuilding yards on the upper River Clyde. This shows the yard from the south-east, as modernised c.1960. The heavy-lift cranes ran on rails, and were used for lifting sections of hull into position for welding together. The firm became part of Upper Clyde Shipbuilders in 1968, and the yard was partly re-equipped. It closed when the company was liquidated in 1971, but was retained in reserve for a time by Govan Shipbuilders. It has now been dismantled. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
