Greenock, Scotland Sept 14 Part 1

 

When we docked, we found a free tour, by bus, of Greenock.  Most of the ship passengers went to Glasgow and Belfast, but not us.  You know us, we avoid cities whenever possible.

It was another cloudy, rainy day, but who would expect any different from Scotland.  I think I would be disappointed if it was any different. 

 a 9 14 (8) (1024x768)    He was our tour guide, and yes, we could understand what he said, most of the time.

This guy was his assistant, and we never understood anything he said (luckily he didn’t say much) a 9 14 (62) (554x1024)

First we went to a small church that was the first one in Greenock.  It was originally located in an area that was taken over and became a port area, so they had to move the church.  The company that created the port, moved the church to its new location brick by brick. 

a 9 14 (13) (1024x768)      This is the church.           a 9 14 (15) (1024x768)

And these are the lovely ladies who told us the stories of the church   a 9 14 (19) (1024x755)

Then we drove to a lookout point

                                                     a 9 14 (45) (1024x754)   What do you think this is?   Castle????
