| Victoria Tower/Geoffrey Sutton/ 2022 |
Greenock is a Scottish port town by the Firth of Clyde and a gateway city for those on cruises who want to visit Glasgow.
The attractive
town centre includes a 245 foot Victoria Tower built in 1886 (pictured above).
On the hillside is a pleasant park and impressive memorial.
I arrived by cruise ship and quickly headed for the railway station to board a train to Glasgow. The journey through the attractive countryside takes nearly an hour.
On the return, I stopped by the mall.
Perhaps the
most famous Scot from Greenock is the engineer, James Watt (1736-1819) known
for the Watt Steam Engine and the unit of power called the watt.
