The Glasgow firm of Penman & Co, boilermakers, Caledonian Iron Works, was established around 1870 and by 1900 occupied a three-acre site at its Caledonian Iron Works in Strathclyde Street, Bridgeton (built 1889). The firm was incorporated in 1907 and from 1920 was owned by Babcock & Wilcox. It specialised in land boilers, which were exported worldwide.

Godsgift, I like the John Boyd plate, thanks for posting that, it's not a company I'd heard of before, I've got some Cochran plates who by coincidence still do make boilers in Annan Dumfries, I'll look them out.
