Greenock is not a classic tourist destination, but it has more of interest than its reputation suggests. The McLean Museum and Art Gallery anchors the cultural scene, covering both James Watt and the broader history of Clyde shipbuilding. The Watt Library, founded in 1783, is one of the oldest subscription libraries in Britain. The James Watt Dock Crane, a giant cantilever crane by the waterfront, is a striking piece of industrial heritage. The Free French Memorial in Lyle Hill cemetery stands as one of Scotland's more moving Second World War memorials, with extraordinary views across the Firth of Clyde.
