About Glasgow (Greenock)

Greenock, on the Firth of Clyde, is the port for Glasgow — Scotland's largest, most characterful city — and a gateway to Loch Lomond and the Highlands beyond. Glasgow rewards with grand Victorian architecture, the art of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, superb museums, and a legendary music-and-food scene. The drive inland quickly reaches the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond and Trossachs scenery.
