The Barclay Curle Titan: Glasgow's other crane.
Built in 1920 by Sir William Arrol and Co for the Barclay Curle Shipyard in Whiteinch, this is an A-listed structure, but it seems little is being done to preserve it.

Today on the riverside in Glasgow looking towards Finnieston. I've always loved the mix of new and old buildings you can see from this perspective.

The Last of the Titans
Titan cranes were once amongst the most powerful cranes on the planet. Of the eleven that are left in the world, four can be found on the banks of the Clyde in western Scotland.
These are the Stobcross Crane, the Barcley Curle Crane (both in Glasgow), the Titan in Clydebank and the Janes Watt Dock Crane in Greenock.
