Cemetery - Inverkip Street, Greenock


A short visit to the old cemetery in Greenock, on Inverkip Street.

John Galt is interred there, as is Gabriel Wood.

Many ships masters, merchants, and writers from the early 1800s also share these burial grounds.

A real trip back in Greenock's proud history.

'Night is Day' - Movie Presentation at CCA in Glasgow


Comic Camp was staged in the CCA (Centre for Contemporary Arts) at Glasgow today.

 A two-part event exploring comics, animation, gaming, and film.

The morning session focused on emerging innovation, giving the floor to those working within these fields to present current projects or exciting new aspects of their work. This is where 'Night is Day' was promoted and a Q & A session for the audience was held.

A good attendance by the producers and crew gave the presenters (Fraser and Gavin) some moral support - though this was hardly needed as they gave excellent responses.

Forth Guardsman - River Clyde


A rare - if not unique visitor to the Clyde.

She appears to be carrying out work at King George V dock in Glasgow.

 Quite unusual in appearance, and made her way very slowly upriver this afternoon.

Around the James Watt Dock - Greenock


Oh to live in Inverclyde, weather changes quickly keeping it interesting, and keeps you on your toes.

It's a busy time of year as a lot of vessels are getting their winter refits.
