Interesting facts about this location
Holy Loch
The Holy Loch (Scottish Gaelic "An Loch Sianta/Seunta") is a sea loch in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Robertson's Yard at Sandbank, a village on the loch, was a major wooden boat building company in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During World War II, the loch was used a submarine base. From 1961–1992, it was used as a US Polaris nuclear submarine base. In 1992, the Holy Loch base was deemed unnecessary following the demise of the Soviet Union and subsequently withdrawn.

McInroy's Point
McInroy's Point in Gourock is a small peninsula in the west of Gourock, a small town in western Scotland. In the early 1970s, a pier was constructed here to form the departure point for Western Ferries services to Dunoon. This provided a second ferry crossing of the River Clyde operating in competition to the state owned Caledonian MacBrayne service. This service provides a faster crossing that is aimed primarily at vehicular transport.
