Day 47 - Glasgow - 2 July

We are going to tour the area south of the port of Greenock today. The locals have won awards for their promotion of Inverclyde and we thought we'd support them. 

"Inver" means "the mouth of" and the Clyde is the River that Glasgow is on. 

Looking over the Greenoch port and residential area. One of the ladies said "It's a pity it's not a clear day. You'd get a beautiful view on a clear day."
The driver looked over at the view and said "This is a clear day!"

Gourock has a long association with the US, Canada and French from the war and has many memorials. It was an ideal hopping off point to Europe for naval  convoys from here. They still have nuclear subs here.
