  • The Bay Hotel... the Manic's played there, y'know..
  • Old Gourock Primary School - I almost shed a tear everytime I walk by. It makes it even sadder that they replaced it with that flying saucer in Gourock park. Which may be the reason for the growth in tracksuited neds in the town....they are actually aliens!
  • HADDOWS
  • 3-in-1 -I couldn't live without it.

  • The Bay was a shrine and they knocked it down, but there are still devoted followers who are willing to inform you of the glory days, just look for run down, starry-eyed , mid-twenty year old trendsetters.
  • Shambala - coz they name their bedrooms after favourite colours (ie the blue room)
  • MOORFOOT PRIMARY the coolest school in the world. With the attractive red and cream exterior who wouldn't love it!
  • Yellow Kettle. Shambala (cos it's dead expensive and posh and it has gold taps)
  • The Vic
