Idle Cranes Means Hungry Weans

Scott Lithgow.

Anyone from the west of Scotland knows this name. Your Granda worked there. So did your mammy. But from 1987, it was all torn down, auctioned off, lot by lot one dreich Greenock afternoon, a shipbuilding yard reduced to 432 lots.

Every lot part of a whole - with all 432, you could have built an ocean liner.

These men and women did just that.
