Launch of the Greenock Town Heritage Trail


This morning saw the launch of the Greenock Town Heritage Trail.

The trail consists of twenty-one plaques located in pavements highlighting historic locations and historic people in the town.

As well as being a great resource for the local citizens, the trail will also be ideal for the tourist visiting the town.

Indeed we had many tourists from the visiting cruise ship attending the ceremony and embarking on a mini-trail with a local guide.

Sea Princess - Cruise Ship in Greenock


The cruise ship 'Sea Princess' arrived in Greenock early this morning on her visit to our port.

She looked splendid in the early morning sunshine and I'm sure her passnegers were delighted with the scenery as she arrived.

She will depart this evening at 19:00 - all things going to plan.
