Port Glasgow is at the eastern end of a linear conurbation comprising Port Glasgow-Greenock-Gourock with a combined population of approx. 70,000. The conurbation has a wonderful location on the banks of the Clyde estuary commanding views across the Firth to the Argyll hills and sea lochs. Port Glasgow was historically synonymous with ship building and trading. Glasgow bought land adjacent to Newark Castle to form the city’s deep water port. Henry Bell’s Comet, the first commercial steam vessel in Europe, was built in Port Glasgow. The shipbuilding flourished with XX major yards in the town at its peak. Only Fergusson’s yard is still active. As with many post-industrial settlements in west central Scotland Port Glasgow has experienced population decline, decreased economic activity and consequential negative social, environmental and health impacts as a result. Nevertheless the town enjoys some noteworthy assets.
