Greenock Has Been Wiped Off the Map!
I picked up a brochure yesterday - it is called Welcome to Scotland. However, I was shocked to discover that on
the main map of central and southern Scotland - Greenock is not there!
The port of Greenock will welcome at least forty cruise
ships this year bringing over 100,000 passengers and crew from all around the
world. Many will probably pick up this
booklet at some point on their visit to Scotland, good luck to them if they try
to find the port which welcomed them!
Greenock has truly disappeared off the map!
Port Glasgow which is home to the beautiful Newark Castle is
missing too!
This is the year of Homecoming Scotland, which will attract
many descendents of the Scottish Diaspora back to their ancestral homeland,
anyone picking up this booklet will have a problem with the map if they try to
find the place that thousands of families sailed from to start new lives
overseas!
Ok - here's my map - here's where to find Greenock and Port
Glasgow where you are sure of a wonderful welcome!
Love, Liz

As a descendant of Scottish immigrants (they went from Treshnish on Mull to Iona before taking the plunge), I'm disappointed for Greenock and the Port. For some, it may prove a wee bit confusing.
