We see cruise ships - some really massive - passing by to berth at Greenock or heading out to sea from our front window practically daily in the summer.

Greenock's got an interesting history (like the rest of the lower Clyde), but it's not much of a port of call in itself, though its views are spectacular. Land transport links are good, which may not matter if you've booked a package.

August's weather can be unpredictable in Scotland, so let's hope you're lucky.
