Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This public square is the location of many of Greenock’s best known sights and buildings. Right on the centre of the square is the pretty Lyle Fountain. Surrounding the square is the Inverclyde Council building with a statue of James Watt on the corner and the Men of the Clyde sculpture as a reminder of the town’s shipbuilding heritage. The square is not all that lively as there’s no cafes or shops on it. The entrance to the Oak Mall which does have shops and cafes, is near the square though. Not the most amazing place to visit, but worth a look if you’re visiting Greenock and walking around town as part of the heritage trail.

big square with flowers and seating. Maritime sculptur and fountain (dry) gives square a character. Cobbled road. Wellpark access. Midkirk access. Go along William Street for the oldest house in town and to the end of Cathcart Street for "Ginger" the horse (sculpture).

Cathcart Square is not much to look at today - there is the 19th century Lyle Fountain, adorned with the crests of 18 important local families in the middle, and, the 18th century Toon Kirk to one side with the modern Clyde Square to another.
It used to be the civic and commercial heart of Greenock in days of yore.
Between the Kirk and Fountain there is a horseshoe in amongst the cobbles. This marks the site where hundreds of Greenockians would gather to watch the 19th century entertainment of public hangings and floggings.
Nowadays it is a conservation area.

This is a cobblestone Square beside the council Buildings with a church on one side. There’s not a lot to see or do.

Cathcart Square was the heart of Greenock back in the day for commercial, civic and religious activities. Today, there is a pretty fountain, the Lyle Fountain in the midst of the square. The Inverclyde Council and Town Hall face the square.
