This work chronicles the longstanding legacy of the Scott family in shipbuilding, detailing their contributions to both sailing ships and steamships over two hundred years, starting from the early 18th century. It provides insights into the evolution of ship design, the impact of technological advancements, and the significance of Greenock as a maritime center.

It highlights the firm's inception in 1711 and outlines the gradual growth of their operations, focusing on their pivotal role in advancing shipbuilding techniques. The text introduces several key figures, beginning with John Scott, the founder, and discusses the transition from traditional sailing vessels to steam-powered ships, emphasizing the challenges and innovations faced by the family throughout the centuries.
