CALEDON SHIPYARD, Stannergate Road: Operated by W B Thompson later known as Caledon, then Robb Caledon, 1874-1981, the yard now repairs North Sea oil rigs, its large steel-framed fabrication shops re-clad in profiled metal sheeting. A bridge over the railway allowed the workforce direct access to the yard.
The associated engine works was originally Tay Foundry, Mains Loan, a considerable distance inland and uphill, requiring marine engines to be hauled by traction engine. The drawing offices, with a domed
glass centrepiece, were demolished in the 1990s. See NO43SW 115 for the Caledon Boiler shop.
