There was music and activities at Wellpark Mid Kirk, while the Fire Museum drew crowds from as far afield as Edinburgh and children enjoying the story of Wallace the Fire Dog.

Isabel Lind, president of Greenock Burns Club, said: "Doors Open was a huge success. We had 80 folk over two days and received a new club member and new junior member.

"We had a really great time on both days it was unbelievable, we had really interesting people.

"We had folk from the Scottish Football Association who are holding a International Competition at Cappielow in February."

People visited the Burns Club's exhibition and archive room within the Custom House.

Mrs Lind said: "We had entertainment both days on the hour, recitation and singing. I was very pleased with it.

"All the people who come along were very interested, particularly the folk who were not Scottish.

"One of the members of the Scottish Football Association was from Newcastle and told me he had a special address to the haggis and I told him when he came back to bring this with him."

Mrs Lind said she was over the moon with the response the club had received.

She said: "We had 4th years from Craigmarloch who painted all the pictures of Robert Burns and we also has an 'I Spy' trail for children who had to say the word next to the 'mousie' and they got a bag of sweeties if they completed it all."

While Greenock Fire Museum was also a hit with visitors.

Dave Adam, who is chair of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Heritage Trust, said: "It was well attended people came through from Edinburgh and Rutherglen to support Doors Open Day.

"It wasn't as busy as it was previous years but I don't think there were so many venues open this year.

"Both children and adults enjoyed Wallace the Fire Dog storytelling session."

While the Inverclyde Shed also had a great response with almost 100 people visiting on Saturday.

Bruce Newlands, of the Shed, said: "It was fantastic. It was a very nice atmosphere.

"The Skepies ukulele band rehearse here some of our members practice alongside them so we had music from our members, soup, using vegetables from the garden, a model making display.

"Families came along with their kids and got a chance to do some wood turning.

"We must had had around 100 people visiting. We were absolutely delighted, people of all ages.

"A lot of folk has heard about the shed and wanted to find out more about what we do."
