In this fourth instalment, I delve into the fascinating world of the shipyard known as Robb Caledon, specifically focusing on the Leith Division. This shipyard holds a special place in the maritime history and heritage of Leith, and I've worked hard uncovering its stories about the ships and the men who built them, not forgetting the thousands who sailed or served on a Leith Built Ship.

Throughout the pages of this book, you'll embark on a journey through time, exploring the rise and fall of Robb Caledon in Leith. From its resulting merger or takeover depends on your point of view to the closure in 1984, I've meticulously researched and documented the triumphs, challenges, and innovations that shaped this iconic shipbuilding town.
