He intended to capture the port of Leith and hold it for ransom, but his plan was thwarted when a gale on 16 September kept him at the mouth of the Firth of Forth. The scare he caused led to the hasty erection of Leith Fort, with a battery of nine guns, designed by <a href="/wiki/James_Craig_(architect)" title="James Craig (architect)">James Craig</a>, the architect of Edinburgh's New Town, and built in 1780. A Georgian terrace to the north-east served as officers' quarters, and was known as "London Row" because, being brick-built, it looked more like a London terrace than any in Edinburgh. The fort was in active use until 1955, latterly serving for <a href="/wiki/National_Service" class="mw-redirect" title="National Service">National Service</a> training. Most of the barracks were demolished to build a Council housing scheme centred on Fort House and enclosed by the old fort walls. The council development was an award-winning scheme in its day (1955), but the building was demolished in January 2013 and the site has been redeveloped with new low-density housing, again award-winning.

Of these the most notable are: </p> <ul><li>Glass – the Leith Glassworks stood on Baltic Street and dated from 1746. There is also some reference to earlier glass production from 1682 at Leith Citadel. Leith specialised in wine bottles, largely for export to France and Spain. At its peak (<abbr title="circa">c.</abbr><span style="white-space:nowrap;"> 1770</span>) production was one million bottles per week. The Leith pattern bottle is the parallel-sided, round shouldered, narrow neck bottle now dominant within the wine industry. Around 1770 the company branched into lead crystal glass, mainly for <a href="/wiki/Chandelier" title="Chandelier">chandeliers</a>. This was under a new company name of the <a href="/wiki/Edinburgh_Crystal" title="Edinburgh Crystal">Edinburgh Crystal</a> Company but stood on the same site in Leith (ironically this company has never truly been in "Edinburgh").</li> <li>Soap – the Anchor Soapworks was established on Water Street around 1680.

At its peak there were around 100 warehouses storing wine and brandy. In the late 1880s, due to the collapse of wine harvest in Europe, most of these were "converted" for the storage of whisky used in the growing business of whisky blending and bottling. Important in this business were William Sanderson with <a href="/wiki/Vat_69" title="Vat 69">Vat 69</a>, <a href="/wiki/Crabbies" class="mw-redirect" title="Crabbies">John Crabbie</a> who also produced green ginger wine, and Macdonald & Muir who later bought the <a href="/wiki/Glenmorangie_distillery" title="Glenmorangie distillery">Glenmorangie distillery</a>. Around 85 bonded warehouses stood in Leith in the 1960s. The last bond, on Water Street, closed around 1995. An offshoot to the wine industry were several vinegar works.</li> <li>Lime juice – <a href="/wiki/Rose%27s_lime_juice" title="Rose's lime juice">Rose's lime juice</a> was founded by Lachlan Rose in Leith on Commercial Street in 1868. This was originally and primarily focussed upon provision of <a href="/wiki/Vitamin_C" title="Vitamin C">vitamin C</a> to seamen.</li> <li>Shipbuilding – originally centred on the Water of Leith and limited in scale due to the shallow water, Leith's shipbuilding started to fade as vessels increased in size. Latterly Leith built specialised ship types: tugs, hotel ships, cable-layers etc. Whilst the most notable large shipyard (<a href="/wiki/Henry_Robb" title="Henry Robb">Henry Robb</a>'s) closed in 1983, this was technically outlived by a very small shipbuilder on Sheriff Brae (run by the Scottish Co-operative Society) which closed around 1988. The most notable ships built in Leith are the <a href="/wiki/SS_Sirius_(1837)" title="SS Sirius (1837)">SS <i>Sirius</i></a>, one of the first steamships to cross the Atlantic, and <a href="/wiki/K%C3%B8benhavn_(ship)" title="København (ship)">SS <i>Copenhagen</i></a>, one of the largest rigged ships ever built. Robb's yard also made a great contribution to the RN and MN during the Second World War, building forty-two vessels for the Royal Navy, fourteen merchant ships and refitted and repaired nearly 3,000 ships of the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy. This means that one new ship was launched on an average every six weeks and a ship repaired every day of this long and bloody conflict. The RN list included Flower and Castle Class Corvettes and River, Loch and Bay Class Frigates.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Christian_Salvesen_harpoon_gun,_Leith.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Christian_Salvesen_harpoon_gun%2C_Leith.JPG/170px-Christian_Salvesen_harpoon_gun%2C_Leith.JPG" decoding="async" width="170" height="227" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Christian_Salvesen_harpoon_gun%2C_Leith.JPG/255px-Christian_Salvesen_harpoon_gun%2C_Leith.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/94/Christian_Salvesen_harpoon_gun%2C_Leith.JPG/340px-Christian_Salvesen_harpoon_gun%2C_Leith.JPG 2x" data-file-width="1200" data-file-height="1600" /></a><figcaption>Christian Salvesen harpoon gun on The Shore</figcaption></figure> <ul><li>Lead – Scotland's largest leadworks stood on the corner of Mitchell Street and Constitution Street.
