Old Photographs Inverkip Scotland

Old photograph of Inverkip located four miles South West of Greenock, Scotland. 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.
