View from the Cut.

Out and about at work today. My colleague Gail and I patrolled the Greenock Cut by bike. The cut is an aquaduct built in 1827 to provide Greenock with drinking water and to supply industrial water power. It takes water from Loch Thom, near the GCVC, on a 5.5 mile journey round the hills to Overton above Greenock. At 600 ft, the walk offers wonderful panoramic views of the Clyde. It was recently listed as one of the top 100 walks in Scotland. Photographs do not do the viewa any justice at all. You will just have to walk it yourself, pop into the Greenock Cut Visitor Centre to see me if you do. This is the view SW down the Clyde with the jagged peaks of Arran in the distance.
