c.1800 Duncan McArthur opened his Greenhead Foundry, which was located close to Lyon’s original Mountblue Pottery.
c.1810 McArthur was joined in his venture by David Napier, who was to be one of the early pioneers of shipbuilding on the Clyde.
In 1815 David Napier, in partnership with his father John Napier, opened Camlachie Foundry near to Camlachie Burn at Vinegarhill. It was here that in 1816, David Napier built his first marine engine for the vessel the “Marion”.
