Scope and Content Pediment with burgh arms on Port Glasgow Town Buildings, Inverclyde Port Glasgow Town Buildings replaced an earlier town hall found to be inadequate in 1803. An Act of Parliament was passed to allow a new one to be built but work did not begin until 1813. Funding came from public subscription and the sale of bonds. The pediment over the main entrance displays the burgh arms, a ship in full sail. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
