Henry Robb was the last shipyard working in Leith. It started in 1918, grew over the years as Henry Robb bought more shipyards, and launched its last ship in 1983. By this time Henry Robb had built about 500 mostly small or medium-sized ships, and repaired many others, especially during the Second World War.
