  • Docks developed in stages during late 19th Century by the Clyde Navigation Trust to enable ships visiting the rapidly expanding port of Glasgow to be repaired and refitted. In use intil 1980s. Grade A listed site but neglected and highly vandalised. Docks have significant maritime relevance occupying part of the site of the former shipyard of world renowned engineer Robert Napier, Father of the Clyde's vast 19th and 20th Century shipbuilding industry and designer of the first transatlantic ships of the Cunard Line
