Greenock Esplanade - Recent

"There can scarcely be a coastal walk in the whole of the UK to compare with this. On the one side, successions of fine, late-Victorian villas, and on the other the wondrous scenery of the Firth of Clyde." (Ian R. Mitchell)

Some photos of my favourite part of Greenock - the mile long Esplanade - where I have spent many happy hours through the years. These are fairly recent (taken over the past year or two).

Love that view!

This was the first flashing buoy used to aid navigation

sandstone flats - as seen from Campbell Street
