There are many Scottish places that are beginning to get more attention from tourists, both from around the world and from within Scotland itself. One of these places that have been able to take advantage of this newfound interest in tourism is Inverclyde, which includes the town of Greenock, Port Glasgow, Gourock, and Wemyss Bay. A part of the Inverclyde council area, Inverclyde was originally an ancient county in its own right until it was merged with other counties during the Act of Union between England and Scotland in 1707. There are 1,293 houses in Inverclyde and an average of 1.4 people live in each house. The population density is 0.2 people per hectare, below Scotland’s average of 3.8 people per hectare.
