    Couldn't believe the clear footage of ship lying on sand bank, remember this happening when I was a kid growing up in port Glasgow, news got around about ship , wee got on our bikes and headed for greenock where wee were met with hundreds in attendance to what was going offshore, never saw ship close up , stunning viewing. 🙂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

      Thanks Neil, yep sure is great to see captayannis up close instead of a metal lump from the shore.

    Really an eye opener to the area , changed in so many ways, yes it's cleaner but a little bit of dirt is not bad , it's the pace of the changes , hey , this is great seeing it all like this .

      The derelict farmhouse at Loch Thom was Garvock Farm. It was occupied up until the mid1980s but is now in a very unsafe and ruined state.

    Inverclyde has some of the most depressing towns / urban
    areas in Scotland. But also some of most stunning views .!
    Situated right on Highland boundary. I missed Cappielow though might be my fault. ? People with Heart and Fighting Spirit too .!

      @mabawzaingreenock 8 років тому

      +Greenock Drone Guy ... a wee tip......try not use copyright music in your videos m8,cos youtube may scrub your channel....if you look at any of my videos i use copyright free music on them.... I had a great wee video muted by youtube for almost 2 years because of copyright....If you want i will give you a copyright free site for music.......

    • @jimph1
      @jimph1  8 років тому

      Alec Beaton​ Thanks for tip Alec, I usually check in the video manager for copyright restrictions. A lot of claimants will allow you to use their material in exchange for putting adds on your video which they get revenue from. But I agree it's sometimes easier with copyright free music , that would be great if you send me a link to the copyright free site 👍
