Ian Turnbull's superb Drone photo of our riverside

Posted by Norman on 19/8/2026, 9:30 am

Thanks to Ian for taking these brilliant Drone photos of our area today. For nearly 100 yrs that empty land below was our well known Hawthorn Leslies Shipbuilding Yard & soon to be a Housing Estat
Who will build ships for us in the future?

A great picture but so sad to see where I served my apprenticeship and later worked as a Manager turned into a housing estate !

There are ship orders expanding across the world. Our own Navy is placing orders but they are going to Rosyth, or the Clyde, why not toA&P?
