AdminHistory | In 1840, a forge called James Donald and Sons was established at Barblues, Plains, near Airdrie. In 1958, the principal shareholder of the company, James Jarvie wanted to retire and so sold the controlling shares to William and Charles Wolfe of the Bathgate Forge. In 1966, James Donald and Sons changed their name to Chieftain Forge and moved into premises adjoining the Bathgate Forge at Burnside Road.
