The study said that of the two ports now able to take big cruise ships, Invergordon does a big trade in bus tours in search of Nessie, while at Greenock, there is no tour offered of Burns country or a golf trip to Turnberry, so one big attraction is the fish and chip shop near the dock gates.
Stalls scattered throughout a warren of streets opposite the ferry dock display everything from glistening fresh fish to artfully constructed pyramids of spices.
