Originally Mackie & Thomson’s Shipyard - later the Ayrshire Dockyard.
The main ships built were Clan Line Steamers. The depression hit the shipbuilding industry badly. Manufacturing only picked up from 1936 onwards. Finally, the yard was mainly a ship repairer, doing such in the 40s and 50s. From the date of the image – i.e. 1936 – it is likely that this ship is the Carsbreck – it was completed in 1936 and launched as the Coulbeg for Dornoch Shipping Co Ltd.
