Cops and Monsters Crowdfunding


Up to Glasgow this morning to assist in filming a promotional video for crowdfunding of the web series 'Cops and Monsters'

Popular stand up comedian Billy Kirkwood plays a major part in the series and he fronted the promo video.

We filmed in the Govanhill baths - now a community theatre - and an interesting and diverse building that is undergoing transformation on a daily basis.

Here are a few images from the day.

Busy River Clyde Today


A nice bright day today - a welcome relief from the recent winds and rain.

The river was very busy today and I've documented a few as they passed the area around Port Glasgow.

Ocean Reliance at Greenock


A very short Blog today as I attended a friend's funeral in Lanarkshire.

Arrived back in Inverclyde just in time to catch the Ocean Reliance as she arrived.

Very pleased as this is her first visit here.

Lots Happening Around Greenock Docks Today


Today was always going to be busy on the River Clyde, and Greenock docks.

Started when I got the bulk carrier 'Panorea' as she passed Port Glasgow bound for Glasgow.

Then back home I caught the tanker 'Furenas' as she headed upriver to Rothesay Dock in Clydebank.

Then down to the docks and with thanks to the owner of 'MV Saturn' - Andrew - I got some shots as she left the Garvel dry dock and went around to the James Watt Dock to berth for more maintenance work.

The tall ship 'Stavros S Niarchos' completed the same short journey.

We also had tugs and the SEPA vessel 'Minna' arrive at the James Watt Dock.
