Whilst up in Scotland we were wondering what to do for the afternoon. So the girlfriend said do you fancy going to Bowling harbour for a few hours to look at the old boats in a small place called bowling on the edge of glasgow. So off we went for a relaxing stroll. It was not really that relaxing as the tide was in a fair bit and fighting the overgrowth on the wall and the mud near the boats and the rotten wood was treacherous.but I fully enjoyed seeing these.the Erskine bridge in the background makes a stunning back drop. The harbour was used for ship building and was the site of Scott & Sons of Bowling. It was established in 1851 after merging with McGill Bros who set up shop at the turn of that century, eventually joining Scott's Shipbuilding & Engineering Co of Greenock. The site eventually closed in 1979. The Info was given to me by a Scottish explorer with great interest in the Clyde shipping history. Not a lot remains now except some bits of the piers and some old rotten boats.
