Greenoch is in the most beautiful setting on the banks of the Clyde but seems quite a depressed area. Not dirty at all or full of people doing nothing, just depressed. The car parks are free which made me think nobody wants to come here. The shipyards are no more, it was badly bombed in WW2, Tate & Lyle went, IBM came and went. There`s lots of evidence that people are trying to revitalise it but they seem to have give up before anything is finished.

Anyway, our hotel is on the banks of the Clyde . It`s a very wide , impressive river. Tne view acoss to the other side is stunning. This morning we were awoken by a battle ship going past just outside our window!
