'''McInroy's Point''' in [[Gourock]] is a small peninsula in the west of [[Gourock]], a small town in western [[Scotland]]. In the early 1970s, a pier was constructed here to form the departure point for [[Western Ferries]] services to [[Dunoon]]. This provided a second ferry crossing of the [[River Clyde]] operating in competition to the state owned [[Caledonian MacBrayne]] service.

This service provides a faster crossing that is aimed primarily at vehicular transport. It operates between the edges of the towns, and therefore it provides motoring tourists with a rapid gateway to the [[Scottish Highlands]].

McInroy's point is also popular, particularly during the summer months, with local fishermen.
