Since I've been to Inverkip a good few times recently I thought I'd post up a report, and try and get a few different shots in it. The status of the site has moved from being mothballed to stripping the site for demolition. From the last time I was there all that looks like has been done is checking the pipe work and walls for asbestos, and dismantling a few pipes. Shots are mainly from the light and open boiler tower:
