Just came across an amazing but bittersweet video. The launch of the Sealink ferry MV St. Catherine from Henry Robb's yard in Leith on 30th March 1983. The 2nd last ship ever launched by Robb's and also therefore built in Leith.
It's filmed from the top of one of the yard cranes, so has a spectacular vantage point, but you can hear everything from the clapping and cheering of the crowds, the howl of the wind and of course the blast of the ferry's siren as she slips into the dock basin. 
Check out those brave souls in the moving cage suspended from the crane!
