For viewers who do not know the Firth of Clyde please let me explain about the following photograph.

   The small country of Scotland which of course is part of the United Kingdom is essentially divided into two geographical regions.   The northern region is the Highlands.  Highlands (as the name implies is the area of "high lands") = mountains.

   Firth of Clyde is in the Lowlands of Scotland.   "Lowlands" is the very much flatter area in South Scotland == "Low Lands"

   The next image shows CONTAINERSHIP VI off Gourock and in the far background are the mountains at the start of the Scottish Highlands.   So you have now visited the Lowlands and Highlands of Scotland.

   Incidentally the two other vessels are :

the red one is Western Ferries SOUND OF SCARBA on passage from McInroy's Point, Gourock with passengers and vehicles for Hunter's Quay, and

the other is Caledonian MacBrayne's foot-passenger catamaran ferry ALICAT on passage from Dunoon to Gourock Pier.
