UK’s longest urban zipline planned for historic Scottish port
Ambitious plans revealed for UK’s longest zipline
- A regeneration project is planned for James Watt Dock in Greenock, Scotland, aiming to revitalise the area with new leisure activities, businesses, and residential spaces.
- The ambitious proposal includes the potential creation of the UK's longest urban zipline, which would be supported by the historic 1917 Titan cantilever crane.
- Glasgow Arts Centre Limited is acquiring the waterfront site, which features historic sugar sheds that were central to Britain's 19th-century import industry.
- Bradley Mitchell, director of Glasgow Arts Centre Limited, stated the project aims to connect Greenock to Glasgow through culture and heritage.
- The development will proceed in three conditional stages, with planning for the sugar sheds expected to be submitted to Inverclyde Council in early autumn 2025.
