Thank you for posting. Top notch quality. Really enjoyed this more than I can put into words. Born in Greenock 1963 lived in Port Glasgow till the age of 5, then moved to Canada. Went back to visit family in 1976. Very nice to see how it looks in 2018. Makes me want to came back for another visit. Thanks again, great video!
You mention the Comet as a very old boat that was built in Port Glasgow, well that CalMac’r in the background is rapidly becoming a very old boat that was built in Port Glasgow too - nearly a year on and its still sitting there unfinished 😳
@@vickymcbride4028 Hi I do like living here it's were I was born. It's got good and bad points. It could be one of the more deprived areas of Scotland but the scenery is good. Also location wise it has great links to Glasgow. You can be in the city centre in as little as 25 to 30 mins.
@@lavender1187 Hi I'm a little biased maybe because like you say everywhere has it's faults but the Port will always be my home. I'm Port born and bred. There has been lots of great improvements to the town centre with the retail park. And new housing is popping up everywhere. The beauty of the town is your surrounded by countryside side so can easily go nice walks where it's quiet. Yet with Greenock nearby your not in the middle of nowhere you do have amenities and by car can easily get to Loch Lomond etc so your getting the best of both worlds.
@@FeedbackPete1 Hello 😊, That’s very true I was born and raised here lived in Port Glasgow for 35 years now. The retail park made such a huge difference to the town. The Oak Mall is absolutely deserted every time you go through it. You’re so right about the scenery. Especially down at the castle.
Perhaps I live in the 19th century , yet steam & oil might give way to the builders of real Sail again. Most of non-business books are upstairs in Cleveland, Ohio on a clean Lake. Thank you , Ed for outdoor splendid photos. I wonder where Reid, Henderson ( Joe & Bob formed me keel plate Flats of Cleveland in Farasey , Iron Court Street ) , MacMillan, Scott, Kelvinaugh with A. Stephen buildings are. I like to row and swim and sail; lines, battens, scrieve board, ... .
Heritage Inverclyde Coastal Trail certainly is a tongue twister! It's nice to see Scotland's coastal towns. I'm with you on the modern mixed with the old. It would have been better to keep them separate as old town and new town. Great video and commentary!
Many thanks. In some situations the old and new do mix, and I suppose I'm thinking about stuff like the Aberdeen Maritime Museum buildings blend. But in many cases, usually where there's been no thought involved, it's just not good at all.
6.30 mark in the video, is that the James Watt Marina in Greenock? I'm looking for livaboard mooring with nearby parking and storage in that area. You'd approve I'm sure, I'm a conservation stonemason who works on listed buildings and I want to start doing work off a boat in the Western Isles during summer, wintering over somewhere like Greenock.
Last time I had the misfortune to pass through the Oak Mall shopping Centre it looked as if it was falling apart at the seams, with buckets here and there to catch water ingress. Nigh past the time they knocked it down.
