The Port

The Port refers to Port Glasgow, a town in the west coast of Scotland. People who aren't local tend to confuse Port Glasgow with the city called Glasgow, so the Port works as a nickname to avoid this confusion.

Port Glasgow is next to Greenock and smaller places like Kilmacolm and Langbank. It's home to the Port bird.
