Old Photographs Of Inverkip Renfrewshire Scotland
Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Inverkip, Scottish Gaelic, Inbhir Chip, a village and parish in the Inverclyde council area and historic county of Renfrewshire. This Scottish village was made a burgh of barony before the Act of Union in 1707, with the parish containing all of Gourock, Wemyss Bay, Skelmorlie and part of Greenock. Inverkip Parish Church dates from 1804 and is near the site of an earlier twelfth century kirk. The graveyard contains the tomb of the chemist Dr James Young who was nicknamed Paraffin Young because of his pioneering work in oil technology. He lived at nearby Kelly House. Ardgowan House on the Ardgowan estate has been held by the Stewart family since the early 15th century. The present house was begun in 1797, and is currently the seat of the Shaw-Stewart Baronets. In 1403, King Robert III granted the lands of Ardgowan to his natural son, Sir John Stewart. In 1667 Archibald Stewart was created a baronet. The 3rd baronet married, in 1730, Helen Houston, heiress of the Shaws of Greenock. Their son Sir John Shaw-Stewart, 4th baronet, commissioned a design for a new house from the architect Hugh Cairncross. Construction began in 1797, and was completed around 1801. The grounds were laid out to designs by James Ramsay from 1800. In 1825 William Burn was appointed by the 6th baronet to extend the house. Sir Michael Shaw-Stewart, 7th Baronet and his wife Lady Octavia, daughter of the 2nd Marquess of Westminster, continued improvements to the grounds, employing their gardener brought from Eaton Hall, Cheshire, England, to install formal gardens. In 1904 the 8th baronet commissioned Robert Lorimer to design the conservatory. Planting of new trees and shrubs continued until the Second World War, during which the house was employed as a hospital. 1865 saw the opening of the Port Glasgow to Wemyss Bay line by the Greenock and Wemyss Bay Railway Company, with the trains being operated by the Caledonian Railway Company. A railway station was opened at Inverkip in 1867 and this resulted in the transformation of Inverkip from a rural agricultural village community to being more of a seaside resort busy with railway trippers from Greenock and Glasgow. A jetty near the present day War Memorial served ferry boats which tendered to the passing Paddle Steamers. The railway line was electrified in 1967 and has been served by Electric Multiple Units of various classes since then. The line was made single track at this time, which resulted in Inverkip station being reduced to a single platform and losing its bridges across the line. A new footbridge across the line was opened in 2014.

LYRICS:
Covered by night
This desolate landscape
feuding gangland warfare
fills the streets
beware of anyone
you chance to meet here
you'll be a helpless victim
left to bleed
If your not involved
they dont care
you'll be begging for mercy
in despair
in the morning you'll be found
beaten and laid bare
another victim... of gangland warfare (x2)
Internal killing
common place
even if your in
your still not safe
the job has many perks
but you better watch your back
coz at any time
you could be under attack
Brutal revenge
channeled at you
late with a payment
and now your through
they torch your car
they destroy your possesions
they rape your wife
with mindless aggression
Cut from ear to ear
feel the blade
slicing through your dignity
your blood begins to stray
you wish you could awaken
from this brutal nightmare
another victim of gangland warfare (x2)
