Gourock (
i/ˈɡʊərək/ GOOR-uck; Scottish Gaelic: Guireag pronounced [kuɾʲak]) is a town falling within the Inverclyde council area and formerly forming a burgh of the county of Renfrew in the West of Scotland. It has in the past functioned as a seaside resort on the East shore of the upper Firth of Clyde. Its principal function today, however, is as a popular residential area, extending contiguously from Greenock, with a railway terminus and ferry services across the Clyde. The television series Me Too! was partly filmed in Gourock primary school as were many scenes from Waterloo Road.
