  • Drove past this on many's an occasion, but stopped off to have a good gander close up. Interesting story of what the statue was there for. One of many statues in Inverclyde worth a wee visit

  • This is a beautiful tribute to ginger and the working horses from the past. Very similar to the kelpies but has a more touching story behind it. Very easy to find and can be seen from main...

  • Greenock has its own version of the Kelpies horse and it's a sculpture by Andy Scott, located at the piazza at the east end of Cathcart Street. The sculpture shows Ginger the Horse who we're told was a horses who pulled carts, transporting goods to and from Greenock's docks. Unfortunately on one of the journeys, the cartwheel caught a mooring stanchion causing both the cart and horse to fall into the river. Sadly, Ginger did not survive.
