One of Inverclyde's most iconic landmarks will soon be back working like clockwork thanks to a restoration project. Friends of Wemyss Bay Station have secured funding to restore the clock tower to its former glory. The 120-year-old tower was built as part of the grade A listed station, which has become famous the world over as an architectural masterpiece.
