Old Cemetry, Inverkip St, Greenock

I had never been in there in my life before … until today. It’s a total gem and I never knew it was in two bits…a gate at the back leads into a sort of secret garden with park benches…take a book.

John Galt is in there…there are tulips around his family plot…he was the author, went to Canada…you know the guy. And Gabriel Wood is on the wall on your right and there are all these shipsmasters and merchants and writers from the early 1800s.

Some have lain there for over 200 years and they’ll be there for a while yet…it’s worth dropping by to say hello.
