  2. For #SchiffsSamstag here's Regal Princess docked at Greenock in Scotland back in 2024. This small port is the one that cruise ships use when visiting Glasgow although we skipped the major Scottish city on our visit and headed further inland to take a look at Stirling Castle and the Falkirk Wheel.

  4. Just got off the Falkirk Wheel and it's a great experience on an incredible bit of engineering. We were taken up, piloted along the aqueduct, turned around, and came back the same way. Smooth ride, barely even notice you're being lifted or lowered.

  5. We're in #Scotland today, docked at #Greenock for those who want to explore there or travel further along the Clyde to #Glasgow. However, we have opted to head inland and made it to #Stirling where we've looked around the #castle before ensconcing ourselves in a pub. We're off to #Falkirk next to ride on its engineering marvel, the Falkirk Wheel.

  9. 1899 former bank in #Greenock with symbols of trade and power all over it. If it looks familiar to Glaswegians it's because the Connel offices in West George Street are by the same architect, James Thomson. The details here are even finer however.
