This melancholy article mentions in passing the closure and sale by the Church of Scotland of St Columba’s Church #Kilmacolm
- so active and bustling a community when I grew up there in the late 1960s

A white-painted cast iron fingerpost with black lettering “Public Path to Houston and Killallan Road”, and a hand pointing to the left.

Echoing yesterday’s post, here’s a non-ScotWays path sign for a change – this time a lovely cast iron #FingerpostFriday pointing along a right of way at #Kilmacolm, Inverclyde.

I spotted @martinmccluskey.bsky.social at 190th Kilmacolm & Port Glasgow Annual Agricultural Show on Saturday!

Lovely to see the local MP soaking up the atmosphere at this amazing community event, which thousands attend every year at the #Knapps

Hard to refuse complimentary gin !

These splendid #Kilmacolm terraced houses (Belhaven, Glenside, Heathbank and Morar) were designed c. 1903 by James Austen Laird (who was born at 8 Firpark Terrace, #Dennistoun on 22 September 1878 - so a link with my own neighbourhood!).

A fine bit of steeply staired Scottish domestic vernacular. #Kilmacolm

Not Aslan but the Cuninghams of Cairncurran.
