IF you had to leave Inverclyde tomorrow, what would you miss the most?
That's the question we asked the readers of the Greenock Telegraph online, and the responses came thick and fast.
It seems that the most cherished aspect of Inverclyde for many people is its stunning views.
Whether it's the view across the Clyde from Greenock or from the top of the Port, the scenery holds a special place in the hearts of those who have left the area.
The hills, the River Clyde, and the walks and landscapes along the coast were mentioned as being sorely missed.
It's evident that the natural beauty of the area fondly remembered by those who have had to leave.
But it's not just the scenery that people miss.
Family and friends were also high on the list of things that people would miss if they had to go.
The sense of community and the connections formed with loved ones are clearly an irreplaceable part of life in the area.
And let's not forget about the food!
