    		Good try sg!
    Hallidie was originally from Scotland but the cable car system he established was made right here.
    The landmark I am looking for was made in Scotland.

    		Yes, the Balclutha is a picturesque relic on Pier 41. Nice to look at, but I don't know if people are allowed to board it.
