Scott Lithgow was formed in 1967 by the merger of two companies but in 1977 was nationalised and came under British Shipbuilding. By the 1980's it was working on Semi-submersables for the North Sea but was suffereing from huge losses. The yard finally closed in 1993 and today is a retail park. The crane you see could lift 225 tons and was a local landmark. Map location.
