The Clyde
From Lunderson Bay - Inverkip Power station on the left was built a short distance down the coast from the village of Inverkip. Sand and gravel used in its construction were dredged from the mouth of the River Kip leaving a large sheltered area of water. This opened as the Kip Marina in 1973. Inverkip Power Station, complete with its 600ft high tower, was completed in 1979. However by the time it was finished an oil fired power station was no longer thought to be economical, and it only saw use once, during the miners' strike of 1984/5. It has been mothballed ever since.
Marvellous - and a real treat for the good folk of Innellan who live opposite (on the right). On 6th Feb this year the boiler house was blown up! Innellan awaits the rest of the job!!
It's a landmark for the ships...that's the good bit!
Check out in large to spot the cormorant diving (I think that's what it was!) You may need a microscope!!
Beyond is Rothesay and then the white peaks of Arran.
