On The Lyle Hill, Greenock

Some views from the top - quite breathtaking on a clear, fine day.

My photos don't do them justice, alas!

"To look down from the Lyle Hill, that wonderful viewpoint,

is to look on a striking arrangement of natural scenery"
T. G. Snoddy from "Round About Greenock"

The Cross of Lorraine

This monument is dedicated to the memory of the sailors of the Free French Naval Forces who sailed from Greenock in the years 1940-1945 and gave their lives in the battle of the Atlantic for the liberation of France and the success of the Allied cause.

Looking over to Kempock Point, Gourock

Battery Park, some of Cardwell Bay, and the views across the water

Aunt Gwen's inscribed bench is down there on the far side,
only just visible if you look at the larger version of the photo.
(This is the plaque on the bench)

A train leaving Fort Matilda Station

...and two photos from long ago!
Here I am on the Lyle Hill with Auntie Ray, May 1957
