Port Glasgow Heritage Walk and Map

This summer why not take a walk through Port Glasgow enjoying both the scenery and the fascinating history of the town.  Download the guided walk booklet here.  Or you could take a copy of the map and enjoy the walk on its own.

I've updated the details of my Port Glasgow Heritage Walk and you can download a pdf of the walk and larger map from here.  There are some great things to see along the way.  Here's just a few you might like:-
