Hugh McPherson

Hugh McPherson was the Chief Magistrate of Grangemouth from 1878 to 1892. In 1893 the post was replaced by that of Provost. As Chief Magistrate he oversaw the growth in the town and its industries, gifting land for civic purposes (such as the town hall), setting up the electric power station and enabling the docks to expand.
In 1877 Hugh McPherson joined with D McLaren to set up the Forth Saw Mill on the edge of the Docks, immediately north of Station Rd. It was known locally as “M & M’s”. There were several woodyards in the area specialising in pit props, telegraph poles, boxes, etc. Hugh McPherson died on 8th May 1899. |

Grangemouth Docks
|
Place owned by various companies. A dry dock was built in 1811, and leased by various companies including Dobson & Charles and the Grangemouth Dockyard Co. Work began in April 1838 in constructing a dock, following an Agreement between the Forth & Clyde Canal Co and the Earl of Zetland. This dock was opened in 1843 as the New Dock, but later was known as the Old Dock. Junction Dock was built in 1855, Carron Dock was built by the Caledonian Railway Co between 1877 and 1882 and the Grange Dock was built between 1898 and 1906. The Forth Harbour Reorganisation Scheme, 1967, led to Grangemouth Docks becoming part of Forth Ports Authority. In the 1970s, by volume of cargo, Grangemouth was Scotland's second largest port
